“Ägde” är preteritum av verbet äga (äga, ägde, ägt). Ägda är ett böjt particip och ganska ovanligt: “tillgångar ägda av staten” (vanligare: “tillgångar som ägs av staten”).

Does ”att äga rum“ literally mean to own (the) room/space?
Yes, that’s the literal meaning, but it’s an idiom so it doesn’t sound weird to us.
Thanks!
Knowing that I can think of the literal translation of ”owning room“ (after literally having taken the place) is a helpful mnemonic to remember this cloze.
Is ”ägde rum“ equivalent to ”hände“ or ”skedde“, or is there a difference?
More or less. There may be nuances that are hard to explain clearly.
Nevermind then. 
And thanks!
It suffices for the foreseeable future to know that I can use these words interchangeably without butchering the language too much.
