Unreferenced date December 2009 Hothbrodd was a legendary Norse mythology Norse hero, details of whose life appear in several related variations. In the legends of the Ylfing Helgi Hundingsbane , he was the son of king Granmar of S dermanland , and he was killed by Helgi. The Chronicon Lethrense and included Annales Lundenses relate that Hother was the king of the Saxons and son of Hothbrod, whom Halga Helghe had killed to win all of Denmark. Hother first slew Othen s i.e. Odin son Balder in battle and then chased Othen and Thor. Finally, Othen s son Both killed Hother. Hother, Balder, Othen and Thor were incorrectly considered to be gods. In Gesta Danorum , Saxo Grammaticus has merged the Ylfing Helgi Hundingsbane with the Danish skj ldung king Helgi . He has also made Hothbrodd a king of Sweden and father of H der and Adils. In Hversu Noregr byggdist , H ddbrodd H dbroddr was the son of a H d. The name H d is identical to that born by the slayer of the god Baldur Baldr in other tales. And while the H d of the Hversu is said to be father of a son named H ddbrodd, in Saxo Grammaticus Gesta Danorum Book 3 H therus, the slayer of Balderus, is the son of Hothbrodus or Hothbroddus.

Lotherus Lother was one of the earliest kings of Denmark according to SaxoGrammaticus s Gesta Danorum . Verum a Dan ut fert antiquitas regum nostrorum stemmata, ceu quodam derivata principio, splendido successionis ordine profluxerunt. Huic filii Humblus et Lotherus fuere, ex Grytha summae inter Theutones dignitatis matrona suscepti. Lecturi regem veteres affixis humo saxis insistere suffragiaque promere consueverant, subiectorum lapidum firmitate facti constantiam ominaturi. Quo ritu Humblus, decedente patre, novo patriae beneficio rex creatus sequentis fortunae malignitate ex rege privatus evasit. Bello siquidem a Lothero captus regni depositione spiritum mercatus est haec sola quippe victo salutis condicio reddebatur. Ita fraternis iniuriis imperium abdicare coactus documentum hominibus praebuit, ut plus splendoris, ita minus securitatis aulis quam tuguriis inesse. Ceterum iniuriae tam patiens fuit, ut honoris damno tamquam beneficio gratulari crederetur, sagaciter, ut puto, regiae condicionis habitum contemplatus. Sed nec Lotherus tolerabiliorem regem quam militem egit, ut prorsus insolentia ac scelere regnum auspicari videretur siquidem illustrissimum quemque vita aut opibus spoliare patriamque bonis civibus vacuefacere probitatis loco duxit, regni aemulos ratus quos nobilitate pares habuerat.

Image Hr lfr Kraki s last stand.jpg left thumb 300px B dvar Bjarki s last battle. He is in the fetch of a bear. Kraki B dvar Bjarki Old Norse B var Bjarki , meaning Warlike Little Bear , is the hero appearing in tales of Hr lf Kraki in the Hr lfs saga kraka Saga of Hr lf Kraki , in the Latin epitome to the lost Skj ldunga saga , and as Biarco in Saxo Grammaticus Gesta Danorum . Some think he and the hero Beowulf hero Beowulf in the Old English poem Beowulf were originally the same personage, while others reject this notion. Unlike Beowulf, B dvar is said to have been Norway Norwegian , which may be explained by the fact that his story was written by Iceland ic authors who were mostly of Norwegian descent. However, his brother was the king of G taland Gautland Geatland and, like Beowulf, it was from Geatland that B dvar arrived in Denmark . Moreover, upon arriving at the court of Denmark, he kills a monstrous beast that has been terrorizing the court at Yule for two years. The famous poem Bjarkam l of which only a few stanzas are preserved but which Saxo Grammaticus presents in the form of a florid Latin paraphrase is understood as a dialogue between B dvar Bjarki and his younger companion Hjalti which begins by Hjalti again and again urging B dvar to awake from his sleep and fight for King Hr lf in this last battle in which they are doomed to be defeated. As explained in the prose, this rousing was ill done, as Bjarki was in a trance and his spirit in the form of a monstrous bear was already aiding Hr lf far more than Bjarki could do with only his mannish strength.

Eriksgata is the name of the traditional journey of the newly elected medieval Swedish kings through the important provinces to have their election confirmed by the local assemblies. The actual election took place at the Stone of Mora in Uppland and participation was originally restricted to the people in Uppland or Svealand , hence the need for having the election confirmed by the other regions. The Eriksgata gradually lost its influence when representatives from almost all parts of Sweden participated in the election at the stone of Mora from the 14th century. After 1544 the Swedish king was no longer elected and instead inherited his throne. This meant that the Eriksgata thereafter had only symbolic importance. The last king to travel the Eriksgata according to the old law was Charles IX of Sweden Charles IX 1604 1611 . Later kings have made visits to Swedish provinces and called them an Eriksgata , but those visits have no resemblance to the old medieval tradition. The earliest reference of an Eriksgata is probably from Saxo Grammaticus who c. 1200 wrote about the struggle for the Swedish crown in the 1120s in his Gesta Danorum . But the tradition is probably much older than that. The Eriksgata journey was not without risks since there is at least one example of a king being killed during his Eriksgata. This is the incident from the 1120s recorded by Saxo Grammaticus and also in an appendix to the V stg talagen V stg ta law . According to these sources, the newly elected king Ragnvald Knaph vde carelessly decided not to take along the customary hostages from prominent local families while travelling through V sterg tland , even though a rival candidate for the throne had gained support in the province. According to V stg talagen Ragnvald s decision was taken as an insult to the people of V sterg tland, since it showed that he did not fear them, and they killed him in Karlepitt an unknown location in V sterg tland .

Original research date March 2009 Almost nothing is known about the Ancient kings of Finland . Even though no record of ancient kings in Finland exists, prehistoric Finland probably had chieftains called kings , as the loanword kuningas , king , has existed in the same meaning in the Finnish language since early Germanic times, when it was borrowed. Such kings were most probably not kings of Finland, but kings in Finland, as the area at that time was divided between several tribes and communications necessary for the upkeep of a common rule would have been hard to establish. It is also worth noting that Finland only at a much later time come to refer to more than Finland Proper .

In Norse mythology , Gandvik is a dangerous sea , known as Bay of Serpents because of its tortuous shape. Saxo Grammaticus stated that Gandvik was an old name for the Baltic Sea a name misspelt Grandvik in some translations . The legend presumably refers to Gulf of Bothnia . However, there are two opposite theories about where Gandvik was situated, based on the peace treaty in N teborg 1323 in the Arctic Ocean or the Gulf of Bothnia . Starting from 1850s, the former received more support in that Sweden had extended far out to the Arctic Ocean, but since the 1920s the latter have gained more support. However, Hversu Noregr byggdist , dating from the former part of the 13th century, is by most opinions referring to the White Sea when it uses the term Gandvik.

for the name Aurvandil Image Hardvendels Kamp med Koll.jpg thumb right Horwendil, in his too great ardour, became keener to attack his enemy than to defend his own body and, heedless of his shield, had grasped his sword with both hands and his boldness did not fail. For by his rain of blows he destroyed Koller s shield and deprived him of it, and at last hewed off his foot and drove him lifeless to the ground. Horwendill was a legend ary Jutes Jut ish chieftain, who is the prototype for William Shakespeare s King Hamlet , Prince Hamlet s father. He appears in Chronicon Lethrense and in Saxo Grammaticus Gesta Danorum book 3 . The Chronicon Lethrense and the included Annales Lundenses tell that the Danish king Hr rekr sl ngvanbaugi Rorik Slengeborre put Horwendill who he calls Orwendel and Feng Claudius Feng as his rulers in Jutland , and gave his daughter to Horwendill as a reward for his good services. Horwendill and the daughter had the son Amblothe Hamlet . The jealous Feng killed Horwendill and took his wife. Saxo Grammaticus has a slightly different version of events. Saxo states that Horvendill and Feng were the sons of Jutland s ruler Gervendill, and succeeded him as the rulers of Jutland. On his return from a Viking expedition in which he had slain Koll, king of Norway , Horvendill married Gerutha, the Danish king Hr rekr sl ngvanbaugi R rik Slyngebond s daughter, who bore him a son Amleth . But Feng, out of jealousy, murdered Horvendill, and persuaded Gerutha to become his wife, on the plea that he had committed the crime for no other reason than to avenge her of a husband by whom she had been hated. In popular culture Horwendill is the hero of James Branch Cabell s historical novel Hamlet Had an Uncle . His name also probably suggested that of Horvendile, the nemesis of Jurgen and his descendants in Cabell s Biography of the Life of Manuel series.
