| | The Descent of the Danish and Norwegian Kings |
 | | It may be argued with conviction that Asser's list, for example, is merely a Latinised version of that which appears in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, even though Asser includes two patriarchs that the Chronicle omits. |
 | | But that cannot be argued for Ethelweard's list, since that omits no less than seven important patriarchal names. |
 | | Unless, of course, modernism is prepared to accept that Sceaf did rank as the name of the biblical patriarch, Japheth, amongst the pagan peoples of Europe. |
