In the Ingling Saga
Hooglake was the son of Alva and Bera. He became king after his father and uncle killed each other, since the sons of Yngwie were still children. Hooglake, just like his father, did not go hiking and was a homebody and a miser. When his court was a lot of buffoons and musicians.
When the Khaki, the sea guard of Khaki, landed in Sweden, in whose army Starkad was Old , Huglake gathered an army and fought with the Vikings in battle in the Fury Fields. In his army there were two famous fighters, Svipdag and Geygad. Both of them were captured, and Khaki personally killed in a fight Hugleik and both his sons. After that, Khaki ruled Sweden for three years [1] .
In the "Acts of the Saxons"
In Saxon Grammar, Hugletus, king of Ireland, who died in battle with the Danes Hakon and Starkad is mentioned. This king was rich and stingy and kept a lot of memes and jugglers with him. But there were also famous fighters Geigad and Svipdag in his army. Only they continued to fight with the Danes, when all the mimes and jugglers fled. Geigad even wounded Starkad — so serious that Starkad later laid down a song about her. But Starkad still killed Hugletus. After this victory, the Vikings captured such rich prey that no one even cared about its fair division.
