VII. _Gjuki_ is mentioned under the form _Gebica_ in the _Lex Burgundionum_ (_c._ 500 A.D.). Nothing more is known of him from historical sources; but he is mentioned in _Sk·ldskaparm·l_, ch. 41, _Vˆlsunga Saga_ ch. 25, and in the _Edda Poems_, as the father of Gunnar and Guthr˙n. His name appears also (as _Gifica_, _Gibicho_, etc.) in the Anglo-Saxon poem _Widsi˛_, the Latin poem _Waltharius_, and in several early German poems. _Sigurth Hring_, a legendary king of Sweden and Denmark, and the father of Ragnar LobrÛk. His story is related at length in a fragment of the _Skjˆldunga Saga_; and he is probably identical with the _Sigifridus_ who is mentioned in several Frankish Chronicles under the year 812 as carrying on hostilities against another Danish King _Anulo_. _The sons of Gandalf_ were in constant hostility with King Harold the Fairhaired and his father. They owned Alfheimar and Vingulmˆrk along the Swedish coast of the Kattegat. Cf. the _Story of Halfdan the Black_ (_Heimskringla_), ch. 1, 4; also the _Story of Harold the Fairhaired_ (_Heimskringla_), ch. 1 etc. _Gunnar and Hˆgni._ The story of the relations of Gunnar and Hˆgni with Sigurth is told in _Vˆlsunga Saga_, ch. 26 f. _Jarnamotha._ The locality is unknown. There were large forests in Holstein in the Middle Ages called 'Iarnawith' and 'Isarnho'; cf. M¸llenhoff, _Deutsche Altertumskunde_, v, p. 122. _hazlewood poles had been set up_, etc. The verb _hasla_, used in the sense of 'to challenge (to a pitched battle),' means, lit. 'to enhazle' a battlefield, i.e. to mark out the space reserved for a pitched battle with hazel poles. Cf. the _Saga of Egil SkallagrÌmsson_, ch. 52. _The Kurir_ were the people of Courland (perhaps Lithuanians). The _KvÊnir_ were the Finnish inhabitants of the northern portion of what is now Sweden. King Alfred, in his translation of _Orosius_, inserts an original account of Norway and the neighbouring regions which was given to him by a Norwegian called Ohthere. It is there stated that beyond the mountains which bound the northern part of Norway was 'the land of the Cwenas.' Cf. also the _Saga of Egil SkallagrÌmsson_, ch. 14. _Starkath_, the ideal warrior of old time in the North. Probably originally a historical figure, he became the centre of much legendary matter, and, as often happened in such cases, he was even credited with the composition of many poems, notably that on the Battle of Br·vˆll--an event which probably took place long after his time. In Saxo Grammaticus, _Dan. Hist._, pp. 246-258, he corresponds to the unnamed "Old Warrior" mentioned in _Beowulf_, l. 2041 ff. _Fenhring_, in Hˆrthaland in Norway, not far from Bergen. _Lund_, the old ecclesiastical capital of Denmark, situated in Skaane in the extreme south of Sweden. Not only Skaane, but also the neighbouring provinces (Halland, etc.) belonged in early times to Denmark.
