Asmund's body was buried in solemn state at Upsala and attended with royal obsequies.

His wife Gunnhild, loth to outlive him, cut off her own life with the sword, choosing rather to follow her lord in death than to forsake him by living.

Her friends, in consigning her body to burial, laid her with her husband's dust, thinking her worthy to share the mound of the man, her love for whom she had set above life.

So there lies Gunnhild, clasping her lord somewhat more beautifully in the tomb than she had ever done in the bed.
After this Hadding, now triumphant, wasted Sweden.

But Asmund's son, named Uffe, shrinking from a conflict, transported his army into Denmark, thinking it better to assail the house of his enemy than to guard his own, and deeming it a timely method of repelling his wrongs to retaliate upon his foe what he was suffering at his hands.
