A comparison of the two lines of kings shows that, beginning with the
first Fridleus in Saxo's account and the first Fridleifus in the
_Skjọldungasaga's_ account, there are important correspondences.
Fridleus I (Saxo) = Fridleifus I (_Skjs._). Frotho III, son of Fridleus
I (Saxo) = Frotho I, son of Fridleifus I (_Skjs._). Fridleus II, son of
Frotho III (Saxo) = Fridleifus II, son of Frotho III (_Skjs._). Frotho
IV (Saxo) = Frotho IV (_Skjs._); and in both sources Frotho IV is the
Danish king in whose career Swerting plays such a prominent part. By
omitting all of Saxo's kings between Scioldus and Fridleifus I, among
whom are also the Hroar-Helgi group, the _Skjọldungasaga_ has avoided
the difficulty of having to deal with Hroar, Helgi, and Hrolf Kraki
where they first occur in Saxo's history.
