The Fróði of the Grottasöngr is said to be the son of Fridleif son of Skjöld in whose beer king Fjölnir drowned (according to Ynglinga saga). Snorri Sturluson </wiki/Snorri_Sturluson> here and in the Skáldskaparmál make this Fróði the contemporary of emperor Augustus and comments on the peacefulness of his reign, suggesting a relationship to the birth of Christ . Though Icelandic sources make this Fróði a very early Danish king, in Gesta Danorum (Book 5), Saxo puts him late in his series of rulers, though including the chronological equation with Augustus and mentioning the birth of Christ.

Frodi married Hildis Princess of Vandals [59849] [MRIN: 551617442], daughter of Hilderic King of the Vandals [59850] and Amfleda of the Vandals [59851]. (Hildis Princess of Vandals [59849] was born about 496 in Carthage, Africa.)
