>In the Skjöldunga saga and the Ynglinga saga, Odin came from Asia and conquered Northern Europe. He gave Sweden to his son Yngvi and Denmark to his son Skjöldr. Since then the kings of Sweden were called Ynglings and those of Denmark Skjöldungs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skj%C3%B6ldr
>Snorri Sturluson hints at a less divine origin in Skáldskaparmál for this dynasty: One war-king was named Skelfir; and his house is called the House of Skilfings: his kindred is in the Eastern Land. In the 13th century, the official Swedish/Scandinavian term for the modern-day Southern Finland was "Eastern Land", Österland, i.e. the eastern half of Sweden at the time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yngling
Odin was a Finnish man and Varangian king Rurik over a thousand years later was his descendant with a mutated Finnish haplogroup.
>According to the descendant testing listed at the Russian Nobility DNA Project at FTDNA, the branch of the Rurik dynasty descended from Vladimir II Monomakh (Monomakhoviches) belong to Y-DNA haplogroup N1c1-L550 (Y4343 subclade), and includes Alexander Nevsky (1220-1263) and Ivan the Terrible (1530-1584). Notwithstanding, the branch descended from Vladimir II Monomakh's presumed paternal cousin Oleg I of Chernigov (Olgoviches) belonged to R1a1a. The Y-DNA from the Proto-Rurikid branches is N1c1 and matches the distinctive haplotype of the Monomakhoviches. Furthermore, this N1c1 haplotype possess the distinctive value DYS390=23, found in Scandinavia but not in Uralic populations, confirming that this was indeed the original haplotype of the Varangian prince Rurik (c. 830-c. 879) who established the Kievan Rus'.

It's not. It's all factual. Finns conquered much of Sweden in the iron age.

Oops, the initial conquest was in the bronze age but the Finnish control lasted until much later.

Look up the 30 Years' War sometime. The side-switching was at least as ridiculous as this, if not worse.

Yes, but only if it confirms what you've already concluded as true.
You wouldn't want to be involved with that icky critical thinking stuff, would you?

Also, would it be ok if I read horror fiction? Like Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley?

Why would you release a rehashed version of yourself and another person into this world?
It's obviously full of imperfections and suffering.
The child never chose you to be born to. And they didn't choose the genes and geographical location. You forced that on someone. Sounds like a crime to me. It's not justice. Maybe it is the way of life. But we aren't animals. We have a sense of reasoning and we don't need to do it anymore.
