	Sceaf
		Sceaf had appeared in a small boat as an infant off the coast, and was carefully nurtured by the people of that country.
		He was a beautiful child, and born in a rich family, as evidenced by the weapons around his small vessel, and the bronze shield that lay with him as well as the large sword and well-made knife at his side, and the expensive ring armor at his feet.
		Sceaf was fostered by the people as one of their own, and later ruled over them.

	Sceaf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However the genealogy in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle year 855, versions B and C, explains instead that Scef was born in Noah's ark, interpreting Sceaf as a non-Biblical son of Noah, and then continuing with the ancestry of Noah up to Adam as found in Genesis.
		Sceaf is unknown outside of English sources except for one mention in the Prologue to Snorri Sturluson's Edda which, as seen below, is part of material obviously taken from English sources.
		Scyld is sometimes son of Sceaf and sometimes son of Heremod and a descendant of Scef.

		The shield purportedly kept to the middle of the Thames until it arrived at the disputed field, which was then an island because of flooding, whereupon it changed its course and entirely circled the meadow between the Thames and the Iffley.
		According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, furthermore, Sceaf was born in Noah's ark, a non-Biblical son of Noah, and the account continues with the ancestry of Noah up to Adam as found in Genesis.
		Sceaf is unknown outside of English sources except for one mention in the Prologue to SNORRI STURLUSON'S PROSE EDDA.

	Sceaf
		Sceaf had appeared in a small boat as an infant off the coast of Zealand and was carefully nurtured by the people of that country.
		So she named him Sceaf, meaning "sheaf." Being Nerthus's priestess, and therefore the mortal wife of the male gods in that area, she knew she wouldn't have a chance to give birth to her own son.
		Sceaf had been found in dire straits, but in his prime he ended up ruling over most of the islands and the peninsula that jutted out into the ocean.

	Gods and Myths of Northern Europe
		The tenth-century Chronicle of Aethelweard says that Sceaf came with a boat full of weapons to the island of Scani, and was made king by the inhabitants.
		In the thirteenth-century Chronicle of Abingdon, it is recorded that when the monks wished to prove their right to certain meadows beside the Thames, they set a sheaf of corn with a lighted candle beside it on a round shield and floated it down the river, the course taken by the shield proving their claim.
		It is not possible here to go into all the complications involved, but it seems worth noticing the fact that a series of traditions has gone on into medieval times bringing together a divine child, a sheaf of corn, and a vessel moving by supernatural power.

	THE SAXON GENEALOGIES
		Indeed, Sceaf must itself have been an extremely early corruption of Japheth's name in the Saxon tongue, for it was a usage so ancient that the early Christian (and pagan?) Anglo-Saxons were confused by it.
		Furthermore, it was also said of this Sceaf that he had been born in the Ark of Noah.
		Any of their readers who had only a basic knowledge of the Book of Genesis would have known that Japheth was born before the building of the Ark, and one did not have to be an educated scholar to possess such knowledge.

	Northvegr - Angliad
		Said to have been "in the Ark with Noah", this is usually regarded as a later monastic reinterpretation of the original heathen myth.
		More information is provided by writers such as the tenth century chronicler Æthelweard, who speaks of the child Sceaf's arrival in a boat full of weapons, and how he became ancestor of Woden's dynasty, and thus the later Anglo-Saxon kings.
		The twelfth century writer William of Malmesbury adds that the boat lacked oars and that Sceaf's head was resting on a sheaf of corn, hence the name (OE sceaf = sheaf).

		The “pious fraud” theory is based on the assumption that the Sceaf or Seth son of Noa mentioned in the genealogies is meant to refer to the Biblical Shem.
		First, the etymology of Sceaf is completely different from that of Shem.
		Japheth, however, was not known to the Christianized Saxons of the supposed “pious fraud” time as Sceaf but as the Latin version of the name, Iapheth.

	The Scyldings
		In Origo Gentis Langobardorum [link] the Lombards' origins are indeed traced to an «island» in the North named Scadan, Scandanan or Scadanan; but neither this account or any other mentions Sceafa among their later kings or gives the names of any kings that ruled them in the land of their origin.
		Tolkien treated Sceaf in a poem, «King Sheave», which was published after his death in «The Lost Road» in The Lost Road and Other Writings and very slightly revised and printed as prose in «The Notion Club Papers (Part Two)» in Sauron Defeated.
		The A version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle omits the names Hwala, Bedwig, and Sceaf, almost certainly by accident, so that in that text it is Hrathra who is a son of Noah born in the ark.

	The Descent of the Danish and Norwegian Kings
		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.
		The name Seskef is itself merely a variant of the Saxon Sceaf, who we noticed in the previous chapter as the biblical Japheth.
		As in the case of the Saxon Sceaf, the Icelandic Seskef is a form of Japheth's name that would not have been used by any Christian forger who wished to falsify the records.

		The swan was in waiting with the golden boat; the knight stepped into the fragile shell, and while the princess stood wringing her hands in agony on the turret, her mysterious lord was swept over the sad waters, out of sight forever.
		The natives took and educated him, calling him Scild, the son of Sceaf (the skiff).
		In course of time he became their king." In Beowulf it is added that Scild reigned long, and when he saw that he was about to die, he bade his men lay him, fully armed, in a boat, and commit him to the sea.

	The Descent of the Anglo-Saxon Kings
		To further the identity of Asser's Seth with the Sceaf of other chronicles, we have the testimony of Florence of Worcester, who wrote in AD 1118 that, 'Seth Saxonice Sceaf,'--and in another of his manuscripts (9) the name of Sceaf--is written over an erasure of the name Seth by a later scribe.
		Significantly perhaps, he does not specify whether this was exclusively the belief of the later Christianized Saxons, or if it was shared by their pagan forebears.
		Clearly, the early Saxons identified Sceaf as a son of Noah, and not a distant descendant of his, and it is equally clear that Japheth is here being referred to.

	The Trojans and Gildas Quartus
		What we do know is that Iceland received at least one copy of the Saxon genealogies, which contain the sequence from Woden (Óðin) to Sceaf (Seskef, apparenty a misreading of se Sceaf in the ASC text that proceeds to make him a son of Noah)
		The extension to Sceaf was widely available in the time of Nennius, and not long after, ASC had implicitly identified Sceaf with Shem, making him a son of Noah and thereby providing a route all the way back to Adam.
		The Icelandic version of the ancestry of Óðin first appears in the Prose Edda, about the same time that GaC was composed, but there Sceaf is no longer a son of Noah, but is given an extended pedigree back to Priam, whose ancestry in turn is not discussed at all.

	Explanatory Notes on Beowulf
		The story of Scyld's miraculous arrival is attributed to Sceaf in Ćţelweard's Chronicle and also by William of Malmesbury.
		He was a very young boy, and unknown to the people of that land, but he was received by them, and they guarded him with diligent attention as one who belonged to them, and elected him King.
		William of Malmesbury in the 13th-century adds to this an explanation for the name Sceaf ('sheaf'): 'posito ad caput frumenti manipulo, dormiens, ideoque Sceaf nuncupatus' ('because a handful of corn was placed by his head while he slept, he was named Sceaf') in his De Gestis Regum Anglorum.
