This time, the great-grandson of Fornjót (who is said to be "a man"), Snær, and his son Thorri are told to be kings.
[4][5] Many medieval texts discuss the lineages sprung from Fornjót and his descendants, Hlér, Logi and Kári, particularly the children of the latter's descendant, Thorri and his children, Gói, Nór and Gór – leading to the later rulers of Scandinavia; Nór being the eponymous father of Norway, blending into the lineages of the kings in Uppsala, the Ynglings of Sweden, which became the royal dynasty of Norway as King Harald Fairhair unified Norway, who subdued the earls power to elect high-kings and with force took control of the so-called petty kingdoms, forced those resisting this coagulating new form of economy about to be the dominant in most of Europe, feudalism, into exile.
The so-called petty kingdoms before the unified Norway, when Sweden still was a territorial marker, Sviþjoð, extending from the North Sea to the Black Sea, the Land of the Danes where not defined as Denmark until Carolingan times, even after that encompassing the extent of the Danegeld.
In the view of Kyösti Julku and many other historians, Caijaners, a Swedish name for the inhabitants of Kainuu, is here equivalent to the Old Norse kvenir.
[12] That year, 1607, King Charles IX of Sweden expanded his already lengthy title to be as follows: Charles IX's son Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden dropped the term "Lappers j Nordlanden, the Caijaners" from the title in 1611, when he succeeded his father as king, and that term was not added back nor similar wording was included later.
