Information
has gloss	eng: The Myrgings was a clan and peoples of Saxon origin which together with their king Eadgils of the Myrgings are only mentioned in the Old English poem Widsith. They are mentioned as the people of the scop Widsith. They appear to have been the neighbours of the Angles and Offa of Angel who was involved in a war against them. Perhaps they were a dynasty or clan competing for power with Offa over the rule of the Angles though Offa slew two Myrging princes probably the sons of Eadgils not to be confused with the Swedish king Eadgils this Eadgils was later killed by Ket and Wig the sons of Freawine a governor of Schleswig who challenged Eadgils to combat while he was pillaging in the Angle lands, Freawine was killed in combat and the Myrgings then probably captured Schelswig as they are said to have settled or had holdings at Schelswig though eventually to be defeated by Offa.
