Moreover, Ragnald, the King of the Northmen, now in extreme age. When he heard how the tyrant busied himself, had a cave 445 SAXO GRAMMATICUS made and shut up in it his daughter Drota, giving her due attendance, and pr...oviding her maintenance for a long time. Also he committed to the cave some swords which had been adorned with the choicest smithcraft, besides the royal household gear; so that he might not leave the enemy to capture and use the sword, which he saw that he could not wield himself. And, to prevent the cave being noticed by its height, he levelled the hump down to the firmer ground.
