Agder is a Norwegian district attested in the Heimskringla as one of the regions whose lendermen divided their forces during a military mobilization, with some going north and some east, while Erling's sons from Jadar went eastward with their men (Heimskringla, 206. Of The Chief People In Norway). The record places Agder alongside Rogaland and Hordaland as districts whose chiefs acted in concert during this division of forces.
Agder is connected to several figures in the Norse tradition, including Kjotve the Rich, Sote, Thor Haklang, Eirik, Sulke, and Asa.
