Note to Þul Sækonunga 3III

[1] Hrauðungr: A legendary king (cf. Hrauðungr, the father of Geirrøðr, Óðinn’s opponent in Grí). Another king of this name is mentioned in Hyndl 26/4, but the name is not used in kennings (see Hharð Lv 11/1II and Note there). This is the only pers. n. with the suffix ‑ungr among the names of sea-kings (cf. Hrauðnir, st. 2/8). It is also a giant-name (Þul Jǫtna II 3/3).
