  Yngvi - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In Scandinavian mythology, Yngvi, alternatively Yngve, was the progenitor of the Yngling lineage, a legendary dynasty of Swedish kings from whom the earliest historical Norwegian kings in turn claimed to be descended, see also Freyr.
Yngvi is a name of the god Freyr, perhaps intended as Freyr's true name while Frey 'Lord' is his common title.
In the Íslendingabók Yngvi Tyrkja konungr 'Yngvi king of Turkey' appears as father of Njörd who in turn is the father of Yngvi-Freyr, the ancestor of the Ynglings.

 Ynglings - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In the Skáldskaparmál, Snorri Sturluson speaks of the second group of nine sons of Halfdan the Old from whom many families of legend descend, one of these sons being Yngvi, purported ancestor of the Yngling lineage.
Snorri continues with examles of famous descendants of three of those lineages follwed by: "Of the house of the Ylfings was Eirík the Eloquent (Eiríkr inn málspaki)." But Ylfings have not been previously mentioned.
In this list of the sons of Halfdan, Yngvi the ancester of the Ynglings is missing and Skelfir the ancestor of the Skilfings appears in his place.

 tyr - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
It is possible that the transfer of supremacy from Tyr to Odin was facilitated by the Germanic custom of diarchy (see Germanic king and c.f.
Hengest and Horsa, Yngvi and Alf and Erik and Alrik), so that the two gods might have ruled the early Germanic pantheon as equals at some point.
A trace of their relationship may be seen in the appearance of Tyr as Odin's son in Norse mythology, and also in Anglo-Saxon, if Tiw is identified with Saxnot (Seaxneat), the 'war-god' and son of Woden, who was revered as the ancestor of the Saxons.

 Gamall Steinn - Culture of the Teutons (Chapter 16/Genealogy)
Yngvi fell; he was left lying when Alf, the guardian of the altar, envious reddened his sword; it was Bera who made two brothers each the other's bane.
But this much is certain, that with Dag we are suddenly back in Norway once more, or at least in regions comparatively near, for not only does he recur again and again in the family registers of the Norwegian kings, but his name crops up among the children of Harald Fairhair.
The circles drawn into community of life, either by marriage or in any other way, are not washed out of their former connections before entering the pale of friendship and kinship.

 The Federation of Vinland Freeholds
Yngvi: one of the sons of Halfdan the Old, and traditional ancestor of the Ynglings, with whom the Ylfings seem to have been confused (cf.
The confusion between the Ylfings (or Ynglings) and Volsungs was carried far {footnote p.
Gering identifies the name of Yngvi with the god Freyr, but the Volsungs certainly claimed descent from Othin, not Freyr, and there is nothing to indicate that Helgi in the Danish tradition was supposed to be descended from Freyr, whereas his descent from Yngvi Halfdansson fits well with the rest of his story.

 Northvegr - Home of the Eddic Lays
After her death Hring, in his old age, met in Sciringssal (in southern Norway) Alf and Yngvi, King Alf's sons from Vendel, and their sister Alfsol, whom he wooed in vain.
(45) It seems certain that there is connection between these names and the names of Hring's sons, Yngvi and Alf the old, in the Helgi lay.
The names in the lay were probably taken from Skjöldungasaga.

Among East Germanic tribes, however, he seems to have remained the supreme god: the Goths of the 3rd century were feared because they sacrificed the captives they took in battle to "" Tyz,"" their god of war, and then hung the arms of the victims in trees as a token-offering.
