Note to Þul Sea-kings 1III

[5] Randvér: Judging by the evidence from other sources (Frá Guðrúno (NK 263), Vǫls (Vǫls 1965, ch. 42, 75), Hyndl 28/8, Þul Sækonunga 4/1, etc.), this must be the correct form of the name (see Readings above). Randvér(r) is the name of several legendary princes, among them the son of Jǫrmunrekkr and the father of Sigurðr hringr ‘Ring’ (cf. Ættartölur in Flat 1860-8, I, 27). See also the sea-king Randus in Saxo (Saxo 2005, I, 7, 11, 12, pp. 506-7). The name occurs in several kennings.
