The Danish History Books I to IX is a collection of historical accounts written by Saxo the Learned, a 12th-century Danish historian. The books cover the history of Denmark and its people from the legendary times of the Norse gods and heroes to the reign of King Canute VI in the early 12th century. The first book begins with the creation of the world and the Norse gods, and goes on to describe the legendary kings and heroes of Denmark, including Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth. The subsequent books cover the Viking Age, including the reigns of famous Viking kings such as Sweyn Forkbeard and his son, Canute the Great. Saxo’s accounts are filled with battles, political intrigue, and tales of heroic deeds. He also includes stories of famous figures such as the legendary warrior Beowulf and the Danish prince Amleth, who is said to have inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The Danish History Books I to IX is an important source for understanding the history and culture of Denmark and the Viking Age. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in epic tales of adventure and heroism.Now Dan and Angul, with whom the stock of the Danes begins, were begotten of Humble, their father, and were the governors and not only the founders of our race. (Yet Dudo, the historian of Normandy, considers that the Danes are sprung and named from the Danai.)This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
