The Heimskringla relates that he was the son Högne of Njardey, and that he had his home in Jutland (however, according to the older source Historia Norwegiae, he was Geatish).
He pillaged in the Baltic Sea and at night they made shore in the hundred of Lofond/Lovund (perhaps Lovön or the Lagunda Hundred) where they sourrounded a house and set it on fire killing everybody inside.
Historia Norwegiae only relates that the Geats burnt Östen and his people to death inside his house.

Ynglingatal, Ynglinga saga, Íslendingabók and Historia Norvegiae all present Óttarr as the son of Egill (called Ongenþeow in Beowulf) and as the father of Aðísl/Aðils/athils/Adils (Eadgils).
The Daner put Óttarr's dead corpse on a mound to be devoured by wild beasts, and made a wooden crow that they sent to Sweden with the message that the wooden crow was all that Óttarr was worth.
Historia Norvegiæ only informs that Ohthere was killed by the Danish brothers Ottar [sic.] and Faste in a Danish place called Vendel.

 Historia Norwegiæ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historia Norwegiæ is a short history of the Norwegian past written by a monk around the second half of the 12th century.
Along with Ágrip af Nóregskonungasögum and the work of Theodoricus monachus, Historia Norvegiæ is one of the Norwegian synoptic histories.
It is thought to have been the first one written, most probably sometime between 1160 and 1175, though debate about this has been extensive and 1220 would be a more conservative terminus.

These annals are known by virtue of their incorporation in the Historia Regum attributed to Symeon of Durham; they were also used by the compiler of the 'northern recension' of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
The 'Historia' incorporates a Latin version of a vernacular lease issued by Abbot Eadric, early in the reign of Cnut, made in respect of a payment of 15 pounds 'quibus redemi omnia alia prædia monasterii ab illa magna heregeldi exactione, quæ per totam Angliam fuit' (S 1424).
The 'Historia Croylandensis' is however, the product of a flight of fancy in the fourteenth or fifteenth century; and is, of course, especially interesting for precisely that reason.

 SÁMI ROCK ENGRAVINGS FROM THE MOUNTAINS IN LAPONIA...
We do not know the precise significance to the Sámi of the association between Sagittarius and the boat symbol, and nor do we know for sure if the various zodiac signs shown on the drums are anything more than a star map to help the drum user to position his drum in astrological space.
As Rydving (1991: 35) points out, «the few figures on the drum described in Historia Norvegiae are in sharp contrast to the rich world of figures on the drums preserved».
Although difficult to interpret, the evidence does point to the likelihood that the sailing boats had connections to shamanism, divination and funeral rites, or to sacricial offerings during the autumn season.

As the case of R gnvaldr demonstrates, "otherness" need not necessarily only be marked by gender, however: one of the best-known exceptions to the dominance of female teachers occurs when Gunnhildr learns magic from two male Sámi in Haralds saga ins hárfagra, but I submit that this exception rather

It isn’t a contemporary record; but it was written a few centuries after the event, by someone who seems to have had first-hand knowledge of Orkney.
The author of the so-called Historia Norwegiae describes vividly how pre-Norse Orkney and Shetland were inhabited by Picts and priests.
That limpid anonymous statement is the most likely explanation for the disappearance without trace of Pictish Shetland and Orkney.  We may even have a clue to the date when the process started: the Annals of Ulster announce in the year 794 ‘the devastation of all the islands of Britain by the heathen’.
