ÞjóðA Magn 12/4III and Note), although defined in this instance by the control over territory of one man rather than an ethnic group, the term Hakaveldi refers to the realm controlled by King Haki, who is said in the prose text of Hálf to rule over the province of Skåne, which was part of greater Denmark in the Middle Ages.
