Uppsala öd

Freyr reisti at Uppsölum hof mikit, ok setti þar höfuðstað sinn; lagði þar til allar skyldir sínar, lönd ok lausa aura; þá hófst Uppsala auðr, ok hefir haldizt æ síðan.

[4] Frey built a great temple at Upsal, made it his chief seat, and gave it all his taxes, his land, and goods.

It was stated in the Swedish medieval laws that Uppsala öd was to follow the royal institution intact without any lost property.

[1] During the thirteenth century, the system became obsolete for the king and many of the estates passed to the nobility and the church, in spite of the laws that forbade any diminution of the property.

[3] Uppsala öd contained the first documented pieces of what would become Swedish State property.
