About “Brevis Historia Regum Dacie”
Brevis historia regum Dacie is a Latin historical chronicle written in the 12th century by Sven Aggesen, a Danish scholar who worked under the patronage of Archbishop Absalon. The work provides a concise account of Danish kings and is considered a secondary source to the more well-known Gesta Danorum, written by Saxo Grammaticus. Sven Aggesen directly mentions Saxo in his text, acknowledging him as a contemporary. The chronicle offers a brief but significant record of early Danish history from the perspective of a scholar associated with the church. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
