Adils

Adils (or Eadgils of Beowulf) was a legendary king of Uppsala, Sweden.
His wife was Yrsa, mother of Hrolf Kraki.

Adils was at strife with Ali, the king of Norway and plead Hrolf for help. Hrolf didn‘t came but he sent his twelve Berserks to King Adils.
Later the king tried to kill Hrolf Kraki to become the ring named Pig of the Swedes (he didn‘t killed him but finally he had the ring).
