==''Skjöldunga saga'' and ''Bjarkarímur''== The ''[[Skjöldunga saga]]''<ref>[https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14878 ''The Relation of the Hrolfs Saga Kraka and the Bjarkarimur to Beowulf'' by Olson, 1916, at Project Gutenberg]</ref><ref>Nerman (1925:150)</ref> and ''[[Bjarkarímur]]''<ref>[https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14878 ''The Relation of the Hrolfs Saga Kraka and the Bjarkarimur to Beowulf'' by Olson, 1916, at Project Gutenberg]</ref> relate that Halfdan ([[Healfdene]]) and his queen Sigrith had three children: the sons Roas ([[Hroðgar]]) and '''Helgo''' and the daughter Signy. Ingjaldus (i.e. [[Ingeld]], but here he is presented as Halfdan's half-brother) attacked Halfdan, killed him and married Sigrith. Ingjaldus and Sigrith had the sons Rærecus and Frodo ([[Froda]]), while Signy grew up with her mother until she was married to Sævil, the [[Jarl (title)|jarl]] of [[Zealand (Denmark)|Zealand]]. Roas and Helgo survived by hiding on an island near [[Skåne]], and when they were old enough, they avenged their father by killing Ingjaldus. The two brothers both became kings of Denmark, and Roas married the daughter of the king of England. Helgo, on the other hand, raped Olava, the queen of the [[Saxons]], and she bore a daughter named [[Yrsa]]. The girl later married king Adillus ([[Eadgils]]), the king of Sweden. Some years later, Helgo attacked Sweden and captured Yrsa, whom he raped. His daughter bore him the son Rolfo ([[Hroðulf]]). After a few years, Yrsa's mother, Queen Olava, came to visit her and told her that Helgo was her own father. Yrsa returned to Adillus, leaving her son behind. Helgo died when Rolfo was eight years old, and Rolfo succeeded him. Not much later, Roas was killed by his half-brothers Rærecus and Frodo, whereupon Rolfo became the sole king of Denmark.
