 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. Going for the original hook as having wider appeal (and no disambiguation link). The article is neutral and I found no copyright issues. I can see that the history of the period is misted in time and difficult to unravel, but it is a bit surprising that the linked page Eowils and Halfdan does not even mention Ingwær as their brother and joint ruler. Perhaps you could add that. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:20, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
