Yngvi and Alf

Yngvi and Alf were two kings of the house of Scylfings, and the sons of Alrik. According to Heimskringla, Alf was married to Bera, and he was called Elfse. He was reputedly silent, ambitious and unsociable. He killed his brother Yngvi when the latter was sitting on the throne with Alf's wife. Yngvi, however, succeeded in dealing a mortal wound to Alf before he died. Both fell dead to the floor.
