I've got this from Galster's book, but I can't find his justification
for it. I'll come back on that one.
He mentions as kings of the South Danes (by his own reckoning):
Heidrik, Alewih, Hlewagastir, Hokk, Hnef, Hengest, Hugleik. Heidrik
is a hreidgot-, Alewi an outsider (no allitteration).
Kings of the Angles (Beda): Wiglet, Wermund, Offa (Woffa).
Skjoldung kings in Roskilde (from Hroars-): Hroar, Helgi, Hrørek,
Hjørgeir, Hjartvar.
Now there's something for you!


Torsten
