Kari Ellen Gade 2009, ‘Ingi I Haraldsson (r. 1136-61)’ in Kari Ellen Gade (ed.), Poetry from the Kings’ Sagas 2: From c. 1035 to c. 1300. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 2. Turnhout: Brepols [check printed volume for citation].

Sagas: Hsona, Hákherð (Fsk, H-Hr, Hkr, Mork).

Ingi was the son of Haraldr gilli and Ingiríðr Rǫgnvaldsdóttir (see Genealogy II.4 in ÍF 28). He ruled jointly with his half-brothers, Sigurðr (1136-55) and Eysteinn (1142-57), and was sole ruler of Norway from 1157 until 1161 (although the former adherents of Eysteinn elected his nephew, Hákon herðibreiðr, king in 1157). Ingi died at the battle of Oslo (4 February 1161) against Hákon. See Mork (Mork 1928-32, 414-62; Andersson and Gade 2000, 372-404), Fsk (ÍF 29, 331-41; Finlay 2004, 266-75), Hkr (ÍF 28, 303-69; Hollander 1991, 736-85), H-Hr (Fms 7, 206-78).
