==''Chronicon Lethrense'' and ''Annales Lundenses''== The ''[[Chronicon Lethrense]]'' (and the included ''Annales Lundenses'') tells that Haldan ([[Healfdene]]) had two sons, '''Helghe''' and Ro ([[Hroðgar]]). When Haldan died of old age, Helghe and Ro divided the kingdom so that Ro ruled the land, and Helghe the sea. One day, Helghe arrived in [[Halland]]/[[Lolland]]<ref>[[Halland]] according to ''Chronicon Lethrense'' proper, [[Lolland]] according to the included ''Annals of Lund''</ref> and slept with Thore, the daughter of one of Ro's farmers. This resulted in a daughter named [[Yrsa|Yrse]]. Much later, he met Yrse, and without knowing that she was his daughter, he made her pregnant with [[Hrólfr Kraki]] ([[Hroðulf]]). Helghe later warred in [[Lüchow-Dannenberg|Wendland]] and killed the king of the Wends. He also won all of Denmark by killing a [[Hothbrodd|Hodbrod]]. Lastly, he found out that Yrse, with whom he had slept, was his own daughter, went east and killed himself. Both Helghe and Ro being dead, the Swedish king Hakon/Athisl<ref>''Hakon'' according to ''Chronicon Lethrense'' proper, ''Athisl'' according to the included ''Annals of Lund''</ref> (i.e. [[Eadgils]]) forced the [[Danes (Germanic tribe)|Danes]] to accept a dog as king. The [[dog king]] was succeeded by Hrolf Kraki.
