Frotho I.

Frode I. is one of the legendary, mythical, Danish kings in the Gesta Danorum the Danish Saxo Grammaticus clergy.

Frode I. succeeded his father Hadingus (son of Skjöld ) to the throne, and filled the empty state coffers by the war, slaying a dragon and took his treasure in itself.

He used the treasure to finance campaigns in the Baltic Sea, where he won many victories through clever stratagems ( in one of these he disguised himself as one of his own shield Maiden). After some trouble in the home he undertook successful campaigns in Britain, and took London. Frode I died in the war against the Swedish king.

On Frode I followed Halfdan and his two sons Roe and Heligoland.
