 Because of this battle, Hygelac is referred to as Ongenþeow's slayer.In Sweden, both Ongenþeow and Ohthere were apparently dead as Onela was king, and Ohthere's two sons, Eanmund and Eadgils, sought refuge with Heardred, Hygelac's successor as king of the Geats.This caused Onela to attack the Geats.
