North Germanic legendary genealogies are various legendary or semi-legendary genealogies, often royal genealogies, stated in sources on North Germanic peoples, such as royal genealogies for Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Examples of royal dynasties (sometimes overlapping) include the Iclingas, the Scefings, the Scyldings, the Scylfings, the Wuffingas, and the Ynglings. Different sources may give different genealogies for the same individual.

Wikipedia has various articles on this, often with unsourced and dubious claims.
