[Footnote 164: "Vi finder _Skjoldungasagas_ kongerække bekræftet i de andre skrifter. _Langfeðgatal_ stemmer helt igennem i kongersekken og--på et enkelt punkt nær--også i slægstskabs-forholdene. Rolv krakes saga stemmer ligeledes; kun gör den sin konge Frode til Halvdans broder, ikke til hans brodersön som de to andre kilder. _Hervararsaga_ bar forvansket nogle af de mindre vigtige konge-og dronningnavne, men har i det hele samme bygning af Skjoldungslægten. De på Island bevarede oldkvad (_Grottesangen_, _Bjarkemål_, _Bråvallakvadet_ og _Hyndluljóð_) stemmer belt med prosaskrifterne."--Olrik, _Aarb._, p. 157.] [Footnote 165: Son and successor of Scioldus.] [Footnote 166: Said to have been king when Christ was born.] [Footnote 167: Brothers, sons of Leifus.] [Footnote 168: Married to Olafa, daughter of Vermundus.] [Footnote 169: Chosen king upon the death of Frotho III, when Fridleus II was absent from the kingdom.] [Footnote 170: Son and successor of Frotho III. He defeated Hiarnus and later slew him.] [Footnote 171: Olaf appears here in a disturbing manner; but that Saxo had no clear conception of him is plain from the way he introduces his seventh book. He says: "Ingello quatuor filios fuisse, ex iisdemque, tribus bello consumptis, Olauum solum post patrem regnasse, perita rerum prodit antiquitas: quem quidam Ingelli sorore editum incerto opinionis arbitrio perhibent. Huius actus uetustatis squalore conspersos parum iusta noticia posteritatis apprehendit; extremum duntaxat prudencie eius monitum memoria uendicauit. Quippe cum supremis fati uiribus arctaretur, Frothoni et Haraldo filiis consulturus, alterum terris, alterum aquis regia dicione preesse, eamque potestatis differenciam non diutina usurpacione, sed annua uicissitudine sortini iubet."--_Gest. Dan._, p. 216.] [Footnote 172: Son of Ingjald, but not his successor on the throne.] [Footnote 173: Halfdan in _Hrs._ and _Skjs._] [Footnote 174: Hroar in _Hrs._ and _Skjs._] [Footnote 175: Helgi in _Hrs._ and _Skjs._] [Footnote 176: _Beow._, ll. 2024-69.] [Footnote 177: _Beow._, ll. 82-85.] [Footnote 178: "Dette forhold, at det egenlige vikingeliv ligger forud for digtet, förer os hen til 10de årh. som dets tilblivelsestid."--_Helt._, II, p. 36.] [Footnote 179: _Helt._, II, pp. 37-41. Olrik's notes, of which there are a number, have been omitted.] [Footnote 180: Later, the statement is made that Hroar had a son called Waldar; but the statement causes no difficulty in this connection. First, we observe that when Hroar, who is older than Helgi, is slain, Helgi's son, Hrolf Kraki, becomes sole King of Denmark with no competitor for the throne. Secondly, Arngrim says: "Roas. Hujus posteros etsi non repperi in compendio unde Regum Daniæ Fragmenta descripsi; tamen genealogiam hanc alibi sic oblatam integre ut sequitur visum est contexere. Valderus cogn. munificus, Roæ prædicti filius."--_Aarb._, p. 139, n.]
