Huglecus

Huglecus is one of the legendary Danish kings in Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum. Like Hygelac, he fought against Swedes but he is only given a very short biography.^[1]

Kings of the Danes are marked with a crown (♕). Kings of the Swedes are marked with a dagger (†). Superscript numbers after a name indicate in which books of Gesta Danorum the individual is mentioned.
