King Hrólfr Kraki Scattering His Gold on the Plains to Delay Adils' Army
King Hrólfr Kraki and his warriors flee the court of the treacherous Swedish King Adils across the marshy plains of Fyrisvellir. To escape Adils' superior numbers, Hrólfr scatters his gold and the precious ring Svíagris across the ground, tempting the pursuing Swedish soldiers to stop and gather the wealth. This clever ruse humbles Adils and allows the Danish king to return safely to Lejre.
