RГёrik agreed, but the man who would take the chain was on another ship, and when RГёrik threw the chain of bracelets across, he underestimated the distance and so the chain fell into the water, and was lost forever. The Dane asked RГёrik if he would leave the chain of bracelets to a third trustworthy man, so that he could not change his mind when the Danish champion had won. Once again RГёrik promised the chain of bracelets. A warrior named Ubbe who was both strong and skilled in seiГ°r asked RГёrik what the prize would be if he killed the Slav. The next day, the winning Slavic champion was emboldened by his victory and asked if there was a second Dane who wanted to meet him in combat. The Dane entered the duel but was defeated and died. RГёrik promised a chain of six laced bracelets.

A Dane asked RГёrik what the reward would be for the Danish champion if he won the fight. If the Slav won, the tribute would be cancelled, but if the Dane won, the tribute would be paid as in the old days. When the Slavic and Danish forces met, a Slavic wizard suggested that instead of having a large battle and lose a great many lives, two men should meet in a duel. When Odin's son Boe had killed HГ¶Г°r, the Swedes, the Curonians and the Slavs rebelled against Denmark (Saxo patriotically ignores the fact that he had previously given HГ¶Г°r as a prince of Sweden who ruled Denmark) and attacked RГёrik. The Gesta Danorum (book 3) by Saxo Grammaticus agrees with the Chronicon lethrense and the Annals of Lund by making RГёrik Slyngebond the son of HГ¶Г°r (HГёther). The sister and Orwendel were the parents of Amblothe ( Hamlet). He appointed Orwendel and Feng as the commanders of Jutland and gave his sister to Orwendel. RГёrik SlГ¦ngeborrГ¦ was a victorious king who conquered Courland, Wendland and Sweden and made them pay tribute to him. HГ¶Г°r was himself killed by Odin's son Both.

The Chronicon lethrense and the Annals of Lund make RГёrik the son of an earthly HГ¶Г°r who killed Balder, Odin's son in battle. RГёrik is described as a powerful king of Denmark.Д¬hronicon lethrense and Annals of Lund In the Danish tradition RГёrik is the son of an earthly HГ¶Г°r, and notably the grandfather of Prince Hamlet through his mother Gertrude. Saxo's version Slyngebond means 'bracelet slinger' and the motivation Saxo gives is strikingly different (see below). The name SlГ¦ngeborrГ¦, in Chronicon lethrense and the Annals of Lund is a corruption of SlГ¦nganbГёghe, which is the Old East Norse form of Old West Norse slГ¶ngvanbaugi meaning 'ring slinger', i.e.
