Ulf the Brave (Úlfr inn óargi)[1] was a Norwegian hersir who lived in Namdalen in the eighth century CE.
[2] He was the father of Hallbjörn Half-Troll and Hallbera Ulfsdóttir, who was the mother of Kveldúlfr Bjálfason.
[3] Thus Ulf the Brave was the ancestor of the clan of Egill Skallagrimsson.
He is briefly mentioned in Egils Saga.
[4] According to Skáldatal B (Codex Upsaliensis) Ulf was a skald and composed, in one single night, a drápa praising his own heroic deeds; after that accomplishment, he died before dawn came.
