Note to Þul Sækonunga 1III

[5] Auðmundr, Guðmundr: Both are Germanic personal names (cf. OHG Audemunde, Otmunt; OE Eadmund, Godmund). The first does not occur elsewhere in Old Norse, but Guðmundr, Goðmundr is a common name. Here perhaps Guðmundr Dalakonungr, the son of Auðleifr mentioned in Hversu Nóregr byggðisk (Flat 1860-8, I, 23), but there are also chieftains of this name in HHund I 32/2 and HHund II 22/1 (Guðmundr).
