Hjalmar and Ingeborg - Aftermath

Aftermath

Orvar-Odd buried all the slain men in barrows and Tyrfing as well so as to ensure that it would not cause a second and third malicious deed, after Hjalmar's death. Then he sailed alone back to Uppsala with Hjalmar's corpse. He entered the hall and handed the ring to Ingeborg, who looked at the ring and fell down dead. The two lovers were buried in the same barrow.

Tyrfing would not remain buried. For its continued adventures, see Hervor.
