  Notes	«b»http://www.rpi.edu/~holmes/Hobbies/Genealogy/ps11/ps11_125.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frodi «/b»The Fróði of the «u»«i»Grottasöngr «/u»«/i» is said to be the son of «u»Fridleif «/u» son of «u»Skjöld «/u» in whose beer king «u»Fjölnir «/u» drowned (according to «i»Ynglinga saga«/i»). «u»Snorri Sturluson «/u» here and in the «u»«i»Skáldskaparmál «/u»«/i» make this Fróði the contemporary of emperor «u»Augustus «/u» and comments on the peacefulness of his reign, suggesting a relationship to the birth of «u»Christ «/u». Though Icelandic sources make this Fróði a very early Danish king, in «i»Gesta Danorum«/i» (Book 5), Saxo puts him late in his series of rulers, though including the chronological equation with Augustus and mentioning the birth of Christ.
