An aetiology with a map attached: a Swedish king promises her as much land as she can plough in a day and night, she turns her four sons by a giant into oxen and takes a whole island, and the hole in Sweden and the island in Denmark are both still there to be measured. The Danes have built the story as a bronze fountain in their capital. The registry did not have her.
