Hi Troels<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Of course, I'm always aware that everyone can make mistakes, 
not excepting Saxo, you, and me. But any hypothesis needs 
some starting suppositions, which not always seem obvious. 
The suppositions may appear wrong (most frequently) 
or breaking through age-old errors (alas, more rarely). 
Anyhow, a researcher has to try and develop them until 
reaches deadlocks. A best way not to make mistakes is 
not to make anything. Maybe I am on an erroneous way, 
but someone has to pass this way through.

 

Once more accept my thanks for the help.

 

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir

If this is the identity you want to use, you have to be aware that 
this was based on a comparison of figures in the sagas and Gesta 
Danorum. I (and others) may have made a wrong comparison or Saxo may 
have made a mistake when he spelled the name. As already mentioned I 
did not look at this from a linguistic point of view.
