‘The Fenrir <mythical wolf> of the sea, which Africans follow from overseas, will help it. There will be a breakdown of Christianity among the kindred of the people; yet the English people will themselves all be baptised somewhat later.
[2] Fenrir ‘the Fenrir <mythical wolf>’: This is the mythical wolf, son of Loki and the giantess Angrboða, especially associated with Ragnarǫk in Old Norse eschatology, where he fights against Óðinn and kills him (cf. SnE 2005, 25-7, 50).
