It is likely that he was educated on some monastery in Denmark, but given his knowledge of classic antiquity, which he displays in his writing, there is little doubt he has received a more comprehensive education elsewhere, probably in one of the big Church-schools in France.
This is probably written in 1181-1182 and we read in the preface of this little work that Svend Aagesen is already fettling with much bigger things, cause he mentions his desire to write a King-list of the Kings of Denmark.
Some researchers go as far as to say that they might have gone to school in France together and they both served Kings of Denmark simultaneously, and went on those kings' many war-expeditions, and as such some of their writings are firsthand accounts.

 Svend Aagesen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aagesen was born into a magnate family, which counts several known names.
The oldest known family member that we know of with some certainty, is Svend's great-grandfather, Thrugot, who was married to Thorgunna, daughter of Vagn Aagesøn, a grandson of the legendary Palne Toke.
This was probably written in 1181-1182 and we read in the preface of this little work that Aagesen is already fettling with much bigger things, because he mentions his desire to write a King-list of the Kings of Denmark.

 Chronicon Roskildense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Events themselves are only briefly covered while persons taking part in them or even created them, are throughout covered with great passion.
Unlike Saxo's Gesta Danorum or Svend Aagesen's Brevis Historia Regum Dacie which is Danish history as seen from our time, Chronicon Roskildense often covers the 'losing' side in these very same events told of by Saxo and Svend Aggesen.
At times the author can seem very bitter and blinded by politic, however this fact also makes this chronicle a very interesting piece of work.

It is believed that Saxo then wrote Books 11, 12 and 13.
Svend Aagesen's history of Denmark, Brevis Historia Regum Dacie (circa 1186), states that Saxo had decided to write about "The king-father and his sons," which would be King Sweyn Estridson, in Books 11, 12, and 13.
He would later add the first ten books.

I bought The Mysteries of Honoré de Balzac, which is the tenth volume of the Classics of Mystery series published by Juniper Press in New York.
As the third and fourth entries under the letter A plainly show, this book is sure to bring hours of enjoyment: Aagesen, Svend (ca.1185).
First historian of Denmark, author of Compendiosa Historia Regum Daniae (300 to 1185 A.D.); Aani.
