Þráinn is the barrow-dwelling undead king of Hrómundar saga Gripssonar. Once a ruler in Gaul, he sits in his mound with the sword Mistilteinn until Hrómundr climbs in, wrestles him and burns the body. The tale was already being told as entertainment in 12th-century Iceland, which makes it one of the oldest datable draugr fights in the record.1 2
