Chronicle Of Lejre

Themes Unlike '' Chronicon Roskildense'', which deals primarily with information presented as real historical facts after the introduction of Christianity in Denmark, is a recording of folklore about the old pre-Christian Danish kings and the adventure stories that were eventually associated with them. In that sense it is not much different from the first part of Sven Aggesen's '' Brevis Historia Regum Dacie'' or Saxo Grammaticus' '' Gesta Danorum'', though considerably smaller and of much lesser quality. It is sometimes referred to as the "Chronicle of the Kings of Lejre." One of the noted aspects of is the writer's deep hatred of all things German, which at times takes on epic proportions.

Various accounts According to the ''Chronicon Lethrense'' and Saxo Grammaticus' ''Gesta Danorum'' (Book 2), Halfdan had two brothers named Ro and Skat who also sought the throne. Both were killed by Halfdan.

12th-century Books In Latin
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number, numeral, and glyph. It is the first and smallest positive integer of the infinite sequence of natural numbers. This fundamental property has led to its unique uses in other fields, ranging from science to sports, where it commonly denotes the first, leading, or top thing in a group. 1 is the unit of counting or measurement, a determiner for singular nouns, and a gender-neutral pronoun. Historically, the representation of 1 evolved from ancient Sumerian and Babylonian symbols to the modern Arabic numeral.

Compendium Saxonis
Compendium Saxonis (also known as ''Abbreviatio Saxonis'') is a summary located in Chronica Jutensis. It contains a summary of Saxo’s ''Gesta Danorum'', about one-fourth the size of the original. It is written in Latin. It is thought to have been written by the same author as '' Chronica Jutensis''. In this summary, the name ''Gesta Danorum'' is found. It is not known if ''Saxo'' also used this name for his original work. As this is a summary, a large part of the original work is cut out, which some readers have found frustrating. As the author is less interested in war and battles, stories dealing with such things are often cut heavily. The original manuscript is lost, but it survives in four different handwritten copies, about a hundred years younger. One was written by a Monk from Odense in 1431. Latin copies can be found in: * Danish Royal Library of Copenhagen, Add.. 49 2o (1431) * Danish Royal Library of Copenhagen, Don. Var. 139 4o (14/15th century). * Swedish Royal L ...

Ryd Abbey
Ryd Abbey or Rüde Abbey (; ; ) was a Cistercian monastery in Munkbrarup that formerly occupied the present site of Glücksburg Castle in Glücksburg on the Flensburg Fjord in the Schleswig-Flensburg district of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. History Ryd Abbey was settled by the Cistercians of Esrum Abbey in 1210. The monastic community originated however in St. Michael's Abbey in Schleswig, a Benedictine double monastery which had become disorderly, with a reputation for immorality and drunkenness. In 1192 Nicholas I, the de facto officiating Bishop of Schleswig, therefore moved the monks to a remote site, where they established Guldholm Abbey. This was not a success, and the monks were moved again to the site at Munkbrarup. This coincided with the arrival in Denmark of the then new and severe Cistercian order, to whom the bishop entrusted the new foundation, with a substantial endowment. The monastery was thus at last placed on a stable footing and prospered under the more r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
