Note 25 — MISCELLANIES.
George Borrow translation
These were ancient Danish monarchs renowned in song and tale, for warlike exploits and strange adventures. Not far from the Bridge of Væré in the diocese of Roeskild, is King Frode’s grave-hill, which, according to tradition, contains immense treasures, and is the richest in all the land. “Around the King’s neck is a gold chain, so long that its other end reaches round his feet.” See Thiele’s Danské Folkesagn.
