 Hrólf Kraki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hrólf Kraki (Old Norse), Rolf Kraki or Rolf Krake was a legendary king at Lejre on the isle of Zealand, Denmark, described in several old sagas and other documents such as the Leire chronicle and Gesta Danorum by Saxo Grammaticus.
The content of the saga is also related by Snorri Sturluson in his Ynglinga saga and summarized in the Latin epitome to the now-lost Skjöldunga saga.
The concept of Hrólf ruling over a golden age and surrounded by legendary heroes may be compared to the myths of King Arthur and the Round Table and to those of Charlemagne and his twelve peers in the chansons de geste.

In The Saga of Eric the Red, the seiðkona or völva in Greenland wore a blue cloak and a headpiece of fl lamb trimmed with white cat skin; she carried the symbolic distaff (seiðstafr), which was often buried with her; and would sit on a high platform.
Our evidence suggests that during seances the seiðkona would enter a state of trance in which her soul was supposed to "become discorporeal", "take the likeness of an animal", "travel through space", etc. This state of trance may have been achieved through any of several methods: narcotics, sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, etc. To galdra, i.e.

 Road to Hel - FUNERAL CUSTOMS: THE EVIDENCE OF LITERATURE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In Flóamanna Saga (XIII) the body of a dead woman who had been a witch in her time proves restless on the way to burial, until when the bearers are unable to carry her any farther they build a pyre and burn the remains on the spot.
In the same saga a district in Greenland was haunted by a number of people who had died from a mysterious plague, and Þorgils, although a Christian, resorted to the usual remedy and had the corpses dug up and burned—’and from that time there was no harm done by their walking’ (XXII).
Throughout the sagas it is made clear that an important way of paying honour to the dead was to hold a funeral feast in his memory; and this was important for the living as well as for the dead, since it was at the feast that the son took over the inheritance of his father.

 Dan (king) Details, Meaning Dan (king) Article and Explanation Guide
The Age of Cairns began properly in Denmark after Dan Mikilláti had raised for himself a burial cairn, and ordered that he should be buried in it on his death, with his royal ornaments and armour, his horse and saddle-furniture, and other valuable goods; and many of his descendants followed his example.
Of this Dan, Snorri relates only an anecdote that when Dan was twelve years old, tired of the arrogance of Saxon embassadors who demanded tribute on pain of war, bridged the river Elbe with ships, crossed over, and won a great victory.
This Dan is father of Fridlef father of Frothi, in whom one recognizes Fridleif and his son Fródi mentioned often in Norse sources, the latter being, at least by parentage, the Peace-Fródi whom Snorri introduced in the early in the Ynglinga saga.

This saga of St. Olaf (Ólafs saga helga) was written first and the rest of the chronicle built around it.
Broadly speaking, the kings' sagas fall into two distinct groups: contemporary (or near contemporary) biographies and histories of remoter periods.
The word saga is derived from the Old Norse verb meaning “to say” or “to tell.” A traditional form of household entertainment in medieval Iceland was reading stories aloud.

While scholars and historians continue to debate the historical accuracy of Sturlason's work, the "Heimskringla" is still considered an important original source for information on the Viking Age, a period which Sturlason covers almost in its entirety.
