Grundtvig, N. F. S. Uddrag fra History of the Northmen, or Danes and Normans, from the Earliest Times to the Conquest of England by William of Normandy

↩ Again, Mr. 👤Wheaton says of ►Higelak, “he is supposed to have been a petty king, who reigned in the island of 📌Fionia;” and in the note [p. 156], is a reference to the Introduction to Grundtvig's translation of ►Beowulf, whence it would seem that the Gothic king ►Higelak is made into a petty king of 📌Fyen, which is far from being the case. Grundtvig has, on the contrary, shown that ►Higelak in ►Beowulf's “Drapa,” is the same person as the Danish king Cochilac, whose fall in a battle with the Frank king, is related by 👤Gregory of Tours. These are slight defects, but, perhaps, not unworthy of notice; and having suggested them to the attention of the reader, we can very sincerely recommend Mr. 👤Wheaton's volumes.
