Dygvi, Dyggve or Digne was a 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:
- Dygve the Brave, the mighty king,
- It is no hidden secret thing,
- Has gone to meet a royal mate,
- Riding upon the horse of Fate.
- For Loke's daughter in her house
- Of Yngve's race would have a spouse;
- Therefore the fell-one snatched away
-
Brave Dygve from the light of day.[1]
