He says Gudrod's father was Halfdan "theStingy," King of Vestfold. And he calls Gudrod Godfrey andProud. Halfdan's father, he says, was Eystein "the Fart," Kingof Roumarike. "Though the work carries no bibliography,Moncreiffe was an outstanding authority, and pending proofotherwise, may well be considered correct."
