	Stories from Skaldskaparmál
		At that Hrólf Kraki and all of them jumped up, and he said: "Let's make the fires at Aðils' still larger", and taking his shield he flung it on to the fire and jumped over it while it was still burning.
		King Aðils sent a message to Hrólf Kraki to come to his assistance, promising to pay every man in his army while they were campaigning, and the king himself was to choose for his own three treasures from Sweden.
		King Hrólf Kraki turned round then, saw him stooping down and said: "I've made the mightiest of the Swedes grovel like a pig", and with that they parted.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Hrólfs saga kraka [The Saga of King Hrólf Kraki]
		Hrólfs saga kraka, the Saga of King Hrólf kraki, is a colourful and dramatic prose account of legendary events in and around Denmark that was composed in Iceland in the later Middle Ages.
		As can be seen, Hrólfs saga kraka is a highly episodic text, but it is unified by its focus on the eponymous Hrólfr kraki (often anglicised to Hrolf kraki; the nickname he acquires towards the end of the saga means ‘pole-ladder’ and refers to his slender appearance).
		Although Hrólfr is not involved in all the action (and is not even born until well in to the saga) the narrative always involves characters who are either his blood-relatives or members of his band of warriors.

		It is known, however, that there was a manuscript of a saga about Hrólfr kraki at the Icelandic monastery of Möðruvellir c.1461, and it is likely that the saga assumed essentially the form in which it now survives c.1400, possibly being based on a thirteenth-century version.
