In both lists, many of these names the reader will perceive to be
identical with the Danish kings given by Saxo Grammaticus. That the
two lists have been confounded there can be no doubt. And it as
equally certain that many of these kings are unnecessarily
multiplied,—those allowed to have reigned before, as well as after,
the Christian era. Perhaps, however, none of these princes reigned
before Odin; probably all are more recent still; and as so many were
contemporary with each other, ample lists have easily been formed.
