Inge the Younger was the King of Sweden in the early 12th century and the son of king HalstenThe article "Inge d.y." in "Nationalencyklopedin" (1992).] The article " [http://runeberg.org/nfbl/0347.html Inge, section 2. I. den yngre] " in "Nordisk familjebok" (1910).] and he was probably Halsten's youngest son. According to unreliable traditions Inge would have ruled together with his brother Philip Halstensson after the death of their uncle Inge the Elder:

Hallstein's sons were Philip and Ingi, and they succeeded to the Kingdom of Sweden after King Ingi the elder.

Kershaw: [http://www.home.ix.netcom.com/%7Ekyamazak/myth/norse/kershaw/Kershaw1s-hervor-and-heithrek.htm "The Saga of Hervör and Heithrek"] in "Stories and Ballads of the Far Past, translated from the Norse (Icelandic and Faroese)". Cambridge University Press, 1921.]
Other sources say that after the death of Philip (1118), Inge the Younger was the sole king of Sweden, but the year of his own death is unknown. According to the regnal list in the "Westrogothic law", Inge was poisoned with an evil drink in Östergötland: It is not known whether Inge was still alive when the Norwegian king Sigurd I of Norway invaded Småland in 1123, but when Inge died, it was the end of the House of Stenkil.

Inge is reported to have been married with Ulfhild who was the daughter of the Norwegian Haakon Finnsson and who would later marry the Danish king Nils Svensson and even later the Swedish king Sverker the Elder.
