Skjöldungar
nafnorðkarlkyn
the famous lineage of the kings of Denmark, from Skjöld, the son of Odin, , The Danish legend derives the name from his being found in infancy in a bed of reeds to which he had floated on a shield; but in fact the name is derived from the ancient Teutonic custom of electing the king by lifting him on a shield in the assembly.
