One of these Swedish kings was Ragnvald, who in 1125 was riding with his retinue in order to be accepted as king by the Geats of Westrogothia.
These hypotheses have been suggested in spite of the fact that, in both Beowulf and Widsith, the Geats are clearly distinguished from both Jutes Eótenas (or Ytum) and Danes.
Some conspiracy theorists of the highly controversial Götaland theory deny the connection between the Geats and the Gautar, and consider the established version of history to be a fraud.

 history painting - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about history painting
From the early Renaissance, when Alberti first documented the style, until the decline of the academic tradition in the 19th century, history painting was regarded as the highest form of painting, its purpose being to express noble themes and sentiments.
In the 15th century Alberti described history paintings, or istoria, as those that included more than one figure, but by the 17th century the term had come to mean paintings of scenes from the past, and those inspired by mythology, poetry, and religion.
In the 18th century Reynolds stated that ‘a history painter paints man in general: a portrait painter, a particular man, and consequently a defective model’.
