| That of the Swedes obscure and fabulous.Pedigree of the Swedish Kings from Noah, according to Joannes Magnus |
| Origin of Idolatry and War in the North.Extension of the Gothic Empire, and a new Empire founded by them, the seat of which was in Poland or Hungary. |
| The Empire of the Goths broken into numerous Principalities.The Danes aspire to throw off the Yoke of Sweden; but being assailed by the Saxons, submit, and receive Dan , a Swedish Prince, as their King. This Prince gave his Name to the Danish Kingdom, and his Brother Angul, the First King of the English, left his name to that People.Wars between Sweden and Denmark.Swibdager, King of Norway, elected King of the Goths and Swedes.Defeats and slays Gram, King of Denmark, and subjects his Kingdom to the Swedes. All this according to Joannes Magnus |
| Norway. According to Torfus, the Giants, of whom he gives a minute Account, were the most ancient Inhabitants of this Region |
| Soon after them came the Goths, about the Period of the Fall of Troy; next came the Asae, or Scythians |
| To these he adds an indigenous Race, which is evidently a Mythologic Creation |

| Denmark. Claims to great Antiquity.List of Danish Kings from Noah to Odin, that King of the Turks whom the Romans forced towards the North; and from the latter to Hardicanute and Harald Harfager |

| The Finns and the Lapps probably Descendants of the earliest Inhabitants of the North.The People of the North were split into numerous Tribes, of which the Swiones were the most conspicuous.The Dankiones, probably the Danskir, or Danes.The Swiones, Goths, and Teutones, all kindred Tribes.The Finns |
| The Goths the last People that reached Western Europe.Their gradual Amalgamation with the former Inhabitants produced that Form of Society peculiar to the North |
| The Sons of Odin probably the first Gothic Monarchs of the North.The original Inhabitants different, in all respects, from the Goths.The Finns and Lapps represented in the early Gothic Poetry as Magicians, and the Jutes as Giants and Magicians.Antipathy between the Goths and the former Races, and the Causes of it |
| Tacituss meagre Account of the Northern Tribes that constituted the Anglo-Saxons.Alfreds Account of what he learned of the North from Otter, a Norwegian Navigator |
| Curious Particulars of what constituted Riches in the extreme North, in the Days of Otter.The Finns tributary to the Goths.Credibility of Otters Relation.Acknowledged Distinction between the various Tribes of the North |
| The original Tribes gradually expelled, and driven North towards the Arctic Circle by the Goths and Swiar.Scandinavian domestic History, for centuries after the Arrival of Odin, little known.Numerous Chieftains in the North under the regal Title |
| Contradictory Accounts of the Sovereigns and Transactions of the northern Kingdoms; yet they cannot be rejected as wholly fabulous, as the Songs which form the entire History of the North supply us with the best Picture of national Manners |
| Summary of Saxos History of Denmark during the doubtful Period |
