Randver
Randvér or
Randver was according to
Sögubrot and the
Lay of Hyndla, the son of Radbart the king of
Gardariki and Aud the daughter of
Ivar Vidfamne. In these two sources Aud had Randver's brother
Harald Hildetand in a previous marriage.
According to
Hervarar saga both Randver and Harald Hildetand and were the sons of Valdar and Alfhild, the daughter of
Ivar Vidfamne. This saga relates that Ivar appointed Valdar the king of Denmark, and when Valdar died, he was succeeded by Randver. When his brother Harald, had reclaimed
Götaland (or
Gotland depending on the manuscript), Randver died hastily in England, and was succeeded by
Sigurd Ring as the king of Denmark (probably as Harald's viceroy).
He was married to Ingild, the daughter of an unknown Swedish king. He was succeeded by his son
Sigurd Ring.
