However, according to the Chronicon Lethrense and Hrólf Kraki's saga, she was the daughter of Helgi (Halga), whereas Saxo is vague whether it was Adils or Helgi who was her father.
In Arngrímur and the Chronicon Lethrense, Heoroweard is the son-in-law of Adils, married to his daughter Skuld, whereas Hrólf Kraki's saga makes him the son-in-law of Helgi (according to Olrik, he could not be married to his own cousin).
The account shows that Heoroweard had close connection with Adils and Olrik suggests that the real reason behind Hrólfs voyage to Uppsala was Adils' support of Heoroweard.

 Northvegr - A History of the Vikings
The cause, so Snorri Edda declares, was that Adils had refused to pay the reward due to Hrolf's berserks for their help in his struggle against king Ali (Onela) and had declined to send fitting presents to Hrolf in acknowledgement of the loan of these fighters.
Adils rode at the ring and recovered it at the point of his spear.
This preposterous tale can perhaps be connected with the attacks said to have been made by Adils on the Danish coast near Sleswig that are described by Saxo Grammaticus, (2) and the fighting between Helgi, the Danish king, and this same Adils that is recorded in the sagas.

King Adils and his retainers were on one side of the fire, and King Hrolf and his champions on the other, and each party sits on its own long bench, and they talk across to each other very nicely.
And when King Adils sees this, he saves himself and ran to the tree that stood in the hall, and it was hollow inside, and so he escaped from the hall with his magic and spells.
