 These and many sources describe how these two kings met in the legendary and enormous Battle of the Brávellir (c. 750), where Sigurd Hring was victorious and became the king of both Swedes, Geats and Danes.From this battle and onwards, all of Geatland is described as part of the Swedish kingdom.In the 12th century, Geatish tribal independence was but a memory as the Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus noted in his "Gesta Danorum" (book 13) that the Geats had no say in the election of the king, only the Swedes.
