Killings and David Widger; Original publication data not identified N2 - "The Danish History, Books I-IX" by Grammaticus Saxo is a historical work written in the 12th century. This Latin chronicle spans from Norse mythology through semi-legendary Danish history, ending with Gorm the Old. The narrative weaves together tales of kings, heroes, and supernatural encounters, including the story of Amleth—later adapted by Shakespeare as Hamlet—alongside accounts of legendary figures like Ragnar Lothbrok and Starkad. Through battles, raids, and royal intrigue across Scandinavia and beyond, Saxo presents Denmark's mythical and early historical past. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
