[gothic-l] Re: Lukman

[Friþunanþs Ximeneiks]

Dear colleagues and others,
An interesting posting by Prof. Lars Hemmingsen on the forum ANSAXNET
concerning Professor Lukman's dissertation can be found at:
http://www.gendex.com/users/jast/D0014/G0000045.html

(I hope I did the link correctly)

Excerpt from the posting:
(Might step on a few toes, it is not meant as such)
"Eric Cristiansen . . . gives good evidence that many of the genealogies

of medieval Denmark are inaccurate or fraudulent, and that finding the
true lineage of the nobility is a difficult and perhaps a fruitless task
. . ."
No one ever contradicted Lukman, and only three or four people had the
knowledge and courage to make comments, notably Inge Skovgaard -
Petersen and Claus Krag in Norway. Lukman's thesis is in German, as you
probably noticed, but long out of print. . . .

The legendary Danish Skjoldung
(=Scylding) kings -- Halfdan, Helgi, Roar, Rolf, etc. -- never
set foot anywhere near Denmark. They are reflections of famous
Migration Age rulers on the lower Danube.

Cheers,
F.X.
