The legend of Amleth is one of medieval Scandinavian descent. Saxo Grammaticus is the author and the legend is included in his book Gesta Danorum. Prince Amleth is the main character and son of the King of the Jutes, King Horvendill. Horvendill was murdered by his brother Feng, out of jealousy. Feng convinced Horvendill’s wife, Gerutha, to then turn around and marry him. He plead that his murder was in order to rid Gerutha of Horvendill, who Feng claimed was a ruthless and horrible husband. Amleth then pretended to be an imbecile, and pretended to not think anything of his fathers death. Long story short, he ended up slaying Feng with a sword and went back to Jutland with his two new wives. Shortly after, he was killed in battle by Wiglek, who had taken over the throne while Amleth was gone. The end pretty much :)
