===''Gróttasöngr''=== [[Image:Fenja och Menja vid kvarnen Grotte (xylograph).JPG|thumb|right|Fenja and Menja at the mill]]The ''[[Gróttasöngr]]'' contains a stanza (nr 22) sung by the giantesses [[Fenja]] and [[Menja]]. It only names Yrsa and the situation that her son and brother (i.e. [[Hroðulf]]) will avenge Fródi ([[Froda]]): {| | :Mölum enn framar. :Mun Yrsu sonr, :niðr Halfdanar, :hefna Fróða; :sá mun hennar :heitinn verða :burr ok bróðir, :vitum báðar þat. | :Let us grind on! :Yrsa's son, :Hálfdan's kinsman, :will avenge Fródi: :he will of her :be called :son and brother: :we both know that.([https://web.archive.org/web/20071121221718/http://www.northvegr.org/lore/poetic2/042.php Thorpe's translation]) |} This piece cannot refer to ''Hrólfr Kraki's saga'' where Froda was the half-brother of Healfdene because this Froda was killed by Hroðgar. It can, however, be interpreted through the ''Skjöldunga saga'' in which Hroðulf's uncle Hroðgar was murdered by his half-brother Froda.
