Hunding

Norse

A sea-king (Viking lord). Hunding was killed in battle, by Helgi, son of Sigmund.

Hunding was a father of many sons - Alf, Eyjolf, Hervard and Hagbard; and they thought they could avenge their father by waging war against Helgi. However, they were all killed by Helgi, and thereby Helgi earned the epithet of Helgi Hundingsbani - the Bane of Hundings.
