Alrek and his brother Eirik became kings of the Swedes after the death of their father Agne. They were both powerful men, great warriors and sportsmen. They were experts at training horses to prance, gallop and race. One day while out riding on their best horses they failed to return. A party went out in search of them, found them both dead with crushed skulls. They had no weapons with them except the horses' bridles, and it was believed that with these they had killed each other. Alrek married Dageid, the daughter of King Dag, the Mighty.
