      Snorre writes: In the time when the kings we have been speaking of were in Uppsala, Denmark had been ruled over by Dan Mikilláti, who lived to a very great age; then by his son, Fróði Mikilláti, or the Peace-loving, who was succeeded by his sons Halfdan and Fridleif, who were great warriors.

      Ynglingasagan mentions "King Dan Mikilláti, from whom Denmark took its name".

      Ynglingasaga
      Frode Mikellati the peace-loving was the son of Dan Mikellati, ruler of Denmark. He had sons Halfdan, the elder one, and Fridleif. [1]

      According to Ynglinga Saga, Fjölnir, son of Yngvifrey, visited Friðfróði, who was king in Leire, at his home in Selund where Fróði had many great buildings. In the night, Fjölni fell inn a large mead barrel that was set in the floor, and drowned.[2]

      unusually long reign - doubt

      Forskningsanteckning
      Äldre namn för danska Lejre är bland annat Ledre, Ledreborg, Lethreborg, också stavat Lethre, Ledre, Ledhre, Lædre osv..

      Lethra är det latinska namnet för det som numera kallas Lejre, på fornnordiska Hleiðr.

      Enligt danska Wikipedia;

      Ifølge Saxo Grammaticus blev Lejre anlagt af Roars efterfølger, Rolf Krake. Sagn beretter, at Roar var den 23. konge i Lejre, og at det blev anlagt få år før Kristus af Skjold, Odins søn. Danske konger skulle have haft deres hovedsæde i Lejre til det 9. eller 10. århundrede.
