Bjæring was a legendary king or chieftain who is identified as the one who is buried in the Bjærum grave (Bjærumfunnet) in Hægebostad, Agder, Norway. According to local tradition, he presided over the local court on Tingvatn, and he is said to have embarked on a journey to find a queen, travelling over the river Lygna and to Eikeland where there are also old barrows. The grave has been dated to the Migration Period between AD 200 and 550.[1]
