Heidrek had instated a law that if an army invaded a land and the king of that country marked a field with hazel poles, the marauding army would stop pillaging until there had been battle inside the poles.

 Northvegr - The Saga of Hervor and King Heidrek the Wise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Heidrek says it is not right for a king like this, who has had such a great empire, to pay tax to criminal jarls--it would be more resolute to stand in battle against them.
Heidrek was there in the vanguard and had Tyrfing in his right hand, and nothing withstood that sword, neither helm nor byrnie, and he killed there all who stood near him.
Heidrek says that all these soldiers who were killed would make good enough sacrifice in place of his son, and now he gave the dead to Odin.

 Vikings Paper   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Heidreks Saga is such a saga, although the composer of this saga actually "inserted the old verses into the framework of his prose narrative."
Hervör II is the daughter of King Heidrek and granddaughter of Hervör I, and is only cursorily mentioned at first, until the conflict of her two brothers occurs.
The fact that Hervör I was an especially troublesome young girl doesn't seem that odd either, as we soon see that her son Heidrek will be troublesome as well; it runs in the family, and doesn't occur because she's a woman outside of her traditional role.

 Heidrek Bern
Bern was born in Svinik as a bastard son of Boden Thajarr of the nomadic tribe of Thajarr.

Heidrek adopted the commander's name, Bern, and served as his squire before becoming a commander of troop within the unit, and then finally taking over the unit itself when the commander was too old to continue.

 Heidrek v Ferox   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This device was meant to teach agility; a gladiator had to run in, strike the shield with his sword or other weapon, and dart aside before the pivoted arm swung round and the bag of sand hit him.
Heidrek was agile, however, and easily evaded Ferox’s rushes, warding off his blows on his shield and darting out of the way.
With a look of triumph Heidrek stepped back, raised his spear back over his shoulder to deliver the winning stab, and hit the shield of the quintain full on with the spear butt.

Heidrek, in his wrath, drew the legendary sword Tyrfing from its sheath; and since the sword, once drawn, demands blood, Heidrek was obliged to slay the Celtic ambassador.
Heidrek, known in his wisdom as a reader of riddles, was challenged by Gestblindi to solve his riddles in exchange for Persian good will.
Heidrek replied with some ire, "If you wilt challenge me with a riddle which I cannot guess, and you will procured peace for yourself." A chair was brought for Gestblindi, who then propounded his riddles.

 Northvegr - The Saga of Hervor & King Heidrek the Wise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Having included Dvalin's curse (which doesn't feature in R), it was necessary that the king should die by his sword, but I wanted to keep the story of Arngrim's service in Reidgotaland as this prefigures Heidrek's.
Since in other versions, Heidrek kills his brother with Tyrfing, I suspect I may be one "vile deed" short of the prophesy (depending how you count them) - troubled readers are invited to commit one of their own.
After Heidrek's death, Tyrfing seems to lose its quality of killing a man each time it is drawn - unless in some lost version the pike was really a person?

It is told that King Heidrek owned certain thralls who he had captured on viking trips in the west.
One night, when Heidrek was lying in his bedroom, and few men with him, the thralls got hold of weapons and went to the king's lodging and first killed the sentries.
Then Angantyr, Heidrek's son, had a council called, and at the council he was declared king over all the lands that King Heidrek had owned.

We never get the answer to the riddle though, which bothers me a lot- I guess JRR was equally bothered.
King Heidrek the Wise of Heidreks saga was also very bothered, and so upon hearing this riddle he cried:
“You alone know that, vile creature!” and then Heidrek drew Tyrfing and slashed at him, but Odin changed himself into a hawk and flew away, but the king stroke after him and cut off his tailfeathers, and that’s why the hawk is so short-tailed ever since”.

I was also being stylistically influenced by the poety in Heidrek's Saga which uses an older meter and is essentially bare of kennings.
Specifically _because_ of the symbolism of the masculine/feminine name pair -- another motif I stole from Heidrek's Saga.
Because I pulled out all the masculine/feminine name pairs I could find in my Norse name books and decided which one I could live with for an entire novel.
