Skiold, Fridleif I., Frode I., Fridleif II., Havar, Frode II.,
Wermund, Olaf I., Dan, Frode III., Halfdan I., Fridleif III., Olaf
II., Frode IV., Ingel, Halfdan II., Frode V., Roe and Helge, Rolf,
Ivar, Harald I., Sigurd I., Ragnar Lodbrog, Sigurd II., Harda Canute,
Harald II.
The dates of these reigns in the modern histories of Denmark—for the
ancient ones do not condescend to such trifles—are beautifully
confounded, sometimes a whole century being assigned to a single
reign.

This is the list of Suhm, the most critical of the Danish historians.
Yet there can be no doubt that some of Saxo’s kings ought to be
incorporated with it.
