  Anund Uppsale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anund Uppsale or Anoundus ( Old Norse : ×nundr Uppsali) ruled Sweden together with his brother Björn at Haugi, according to Rimbert and Hervarar saga (he and Björn are also mentioned by Adam of Bremen).
Adam of Bremen relates that a king named Anund accepted the faith and was driven away after refusing to sacrifice at the Temple at Uppsala.
Sometime in the 840s, Anund returns to Sweden with a large Danish host of 21 longships and 11 of his own, because Anund had promised them rich plunder in Birka, and they arrived when Björn at Hauge was far away.

Since the preceding king is confirmed as Anund by other sources ( Rimbert and Adam of Bremen), Anundsson is probably the correct form of the patronym.

The second source is Rimbert 's Vita Ansgari, where there are three accounts of what seems to be the use of runes for divination, but Rimbert calls it "drawing lots".
One of these accounts is the description of how a renegade Swedish king Anund Uppsale first brings a Danish fleet to Birka, but then changes his mind and asks the Danes to "draw lots".
According to the story, this "drawing of lots" was quite informative, telling them that attacking Birka would bring bad luck and that they should attack a Slavic town instead.

För sina stränga räfsters skull kallades han på 1040-talet för Anund Kolbränna.
Knut stred ju mot Anund vid Helg å i Uppland 1027 och det kan möjligen förhålla sig så att han för en kort tid lyckades erövra delar av Svea rike, däribland Sigtuna.
Vart nionde år hölls den stora bloten i Uppsala och Anund hann sitta på tronen i fem år innan nästa offerfest och då han vägrade att blota avsattes han därför 1075.

Björn at Haugi ( Old Norse), Björn på Håga, Björn II or Bern was according to Hervarar saga a Swedish king and the son of Erik Björnsson who ruled together with his brother Anund Uppsale.
Björn was possibly called at Haugi as his hall was at the great mound (haug) of Adelsö, from where he could control the new merchant town of Birka.
However, Hervarar saga only mentions Erik Anundsson, who was the father of Björn (III) Eriksson (the father of Eric the Victorious and Olof (II) Björnsson) (see Diarchy).
