Granmar turned a scowling eye on the youth cowed before him, son of his sisters son, his apprentice in lieu of the boy he had never taken time to father.
Granmar's white hair strayed in scraggly clumps, his greasy fl bearskin tunic barely visible behind the folds of the robe of office that he wore.

 Helgi Hundingsbane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, her father king Högne of Östergötland has promised her to Hothbrodd, the son of king Granmar of Södermanland.
It is retold in detail about the gathering of the forces and of how, in a great battle, Helgi and his brother Sinfjötli fight with Högne, his son Dag, Granmar and all of Granmar's sons Hothbrodd, Starkad and Gudmund.
Moreover, in the Heimskringla, their enemy Granmar (the father of Hothbrodd) was the king of Södermanland, which is adjacent to East Götaland, and not of Sweden.

 Northvegr - Home of the Eddic Lays
Granmar is the name of Höthbrodd's father in the story of Helgi Hund.
Snorri (11) mentions a king in Sødermanland called Granmar, who was married to Hild, daughter of King Högni in East Gautland.
We should note further that it is only in rather later Old Norse stories that Granmar and Högni are referred to Sweden; and the same thing may be said of Höthbrodd, since Saxo's statement that he was a Swedish king is based on a comparatively late account.
