Buðli or Budli is the name of one or two legendary kings from the Scandinavian legendary sagas.[1]

Ásmundar saga kappabana

According to the Ásmundar saga kappabana, Buðli was a Swedish king and the father of Hildr.[2][3]

The saga relates that Hildr married Helgi, the son of Hildebrand, the king of the Huns. Helgi and Hildr had a son who was raised by his paternal grandfather and named Hildebrand after him.[1]

Hildebrand became a great warrior and was called the Hunnish champion. When his father, Helgi, had fallen in a war, his maternal grandfather, the Swedish King Buðli, was killed by a Danish king by the name of Alf. This Alf took Hildrebrand's mother, Hildr, captive and gave her to the champion Aki with whom she had a son, Asmund, who is the protagonist of the saga.
