  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saxo Grammaticus
As that event happened in 1158 we may conclude that Saxo was born about 1150, but we do not know where; from the favour shown to Zealand, it has been inferred that that was his birthplace.
Saxo's history was written at the suggestion of Archbishop Absalon of Lund, who died in 1201 before the work was finished, whereupon the historian addressed himself to Absalon's successor Anders, who held the see until 1222.
It is much more probable that Saxo held a high office, possibly a secretaryship, and that he enjoyed the bishop's intimate acquaintance.

 Shakespeare's Sources for Hamlet

Saxo's story was first printed in Paris in 1514, and Francois de Belleforest translated it into French in 1570, as part of his collection of tragic legends, Histoires Tragiques.
Saxo's text did not appear in English until 1608, so either Shakespeare was fluent in French or he used another English source based on the French translation.

 Northvegr - Saxo's The History of the Danes
Immense knowledge of Latin, both good and bad (especially of the authors Saxo imitated), infinite and prolix industry, a sharp eye for the text, and continence in emendation, are not his only virtues.
Saxo's countrymen have praised without stint his remarkable style, for he has a style.
He should be a man of accomplishments, of unblemished body, presumably of royal kin (peasant-birth is considered a bar to the kingship), usually a son or a nephew, or brother of his foregoer (though no strict rule of succession seems to appear in Saxo), and duly chosen and acknowledged at the proper place of election.

Saxo has even recorded the Laws of Frode in four separate bits, which we give as A, B, C, D. is mainly a civil and military code of archaic kind: (a) The division of spoil shall be -- gold to captains, silver to privates, arms to champions, ships to be shared by all.
