Ing’s Family Tree

About Ing →

Family

• Mannus(parent)

  Ing is one of three sons of Mannus, the first man of Germanic tradition, and progenitor of the Ingaevones, the coastal Germanic peoples dwelling nearest to the sea.

  ⚠ Tacitus names the three tribal groups (Ingaevones, Herminones, Istaevones) as descended from Mannus's sons but does not name the sons directly; *Ingwaz is a scholarly reconstruction from the tribal name.

Equivalent to

• Freyr(Norse)

  Ing and Freyr are the same fertility god remembered across Germanic and Norse traditions — the wagon-borne lord of the East-Danes in the Old English Rune Poem and the Yngvi-Freyr of the Ynglinga saga, divine ancestor of the Swedish Yngling dynasty.
