The Anderson-Krogh genealogy : ancestral lines and descendants
Egil became king after his father Aun's death. He had a slave named Tunne who formerly served Egil's father as a tax collector and treasurer. This servant stole a lot of wealth which he buried. Later Tunne and a number of other slaves skipped off with the treasure. Tunne gained many followers because he was liberal in giving of his wealth to them. Tunne engaged in eight battles with Egil's warriors, always defeating them. Finally Egil went to Denmark for help. He agreed to pay King Frode a tax if he would help him. He returned to Sweden with a large force with which he conguered Tunne and his men. The Danes returned home after the battle and Egil reigned in peace for three years. However, he failed to pay the tax he had promised to King Frode, giving rather large gifts each year, and their friendship coninued. While out hunting in the woods alone, he came across a wild bull which he attempeted to kill. His spear did not take effect, it only enraged the bull, which attacked the horse, killing it. Before K Egil could recover his sword, he was stabbed to death by its horns.
