[1] Áli: According to Hkr (ÍF 26, 57), he was a Norwegian and king of Oppland (see also Skjǫldunga saga, ÍF 35, 29), but his lineage given in Beowulf indicates that he was Swedish (Swed. Uppland confused with Norw. Upplǫnd; see Beowulf 2008, lxii). For his horse, Hrafn lit. ‘raven’, see Note to [All] above.
