Part 14

[Footnote 15: Dyrendal, the name of Roland's sword, afterwards used for swords in general by the Danes. Scandinavian warriors esteemed their swords above all other treasures. If a sword had done good service, it was distinguished by some epithet expressive of the deeds it had achieved. The sword of King Hagen of Norway was called "quaern bider," or mill-stone biter, from having cut through a mill-stone. If the owner of such a sword had no immediate descendants, it was buried beside him in his grave.--_Translator's Note_.]

[Footnote 16: King Glipping, so called from his twinkling eye.]

[Footnote 17: Fragment of an old Danish ballad.]

[Footnote 18: A valuable collection of historical documents made by King Eric, called Congesta Menvedi.]

[Footnote 19: Sveno Agonis, a Danish historian contemporary with Saxo Grammaticus.]
