 Gesta Danorum (Angers Fragment), page 1, front. |
Gesta Danorum ("Deeds of the Danes") is a patriotic work of Danish history, by the 12th century author Saxo Grammaticus ("Saxo the Literate", literally "the Grammarian"). One should not see the books as a compilation of pre-Christian mythology, but as an account of the glorious past of Denmark. It is the most ambitious literary undertaking of medieval Denmark and is an essential source for the nation's early history. It is also one of the oldest known written documents about the history of Estonia and Latvia.
