- From Wikipedia:
“Dyggvi or Dyggve was a mythological Swedish king of the House of Ynglings. He died in bed and never reached Valhalla. Instead he went to Hel, Loki's daughter, who acquired a husband of royal blood. He was succeeded by his son Dag the Wise.
Snorri Sturluson wrote of Domar in his Ynglinga saga (1225):
Dygve was the name of his son, who succeeded him in ruling the land; and about him nothing is said but that he died in his bed.
About Dyggvi's mother Snorri had more to say:
Dygve's mother was Drott, a daughter of King Danp, the son of Rig, who was first called "king" in the Danish tongue. His descendants always afterwards considered the title of king the title of highest dignity. Dygve was the first of his family to be called king, for his predecessors had been called "Drottnar", and their wives "Drottningar", and their court "Drott". Each of their race was called Yngve, or Yngune, and the whole race together Ynglinger. The Queen Drott was a sister of King Dan Mikillati, from whom Denmark a took its name.”
