Domar (Dómarr)

In the Yngling genealogical tradition preserved in sources such as the skaldic poem Ynglingatal, Snorri Sturluson's Ynglinga saga (Heimskringla), the Latin Historia Norwegiae, and the lineage summaries in Íslendingabók, Domar appears as the son of the sacrificed king Domalde (Dómaldr). The narrative context links Domar's accession to a reversal of the famine and unrest that preceded his father's sacrifice: after Domalde's death the crops again became plentiful and peace reigned, and Domar succeeded to a long and stable rule. His place in the sequence of Yngling kings situates him as a named ancestor used to structure royal lineage and to explain the wellbeing of the realm in relation to sacrificial and dynastic practices.

The surviving summaries and genealogical notices do not provide any physical description of Domar. Medieval attestations record events of his life — marriage (to Drott), the length and prosperity of his reign, his death, the conveyance of his body across the Fyris Wolds, cremation on the riverbank, and a raised stone over his ashes — but they do not describe his bodily characteristics, attire, or visual appearance.

No supernatural abilities are attributed to Domar in the cited sources. He is portrayed as a human king whose reign coincides with agricultural plenty and peace, a condition framed in the tradition as following his father's sacrificial death. The sources thus present him in political and dynastic terms — husband, father (of Dyggvi), and long-reigning monarch — rather than as a bearer of magical powers; his 'ability' to preside over prosperity is described in genealogical narrative rather than as an explicit personal power.
