[Sidenote: 1067.] Haraldo caso, filij eius duo confestim in Daniam cum
sorore migrarunt. Quos Sweno, paterni illorum menti oblitus consanguinea
pietatis more accepit, puellamque Ruthenorum regi Waldemaro, (qui & ipse
Iarislaus a suis est appellatus) nuptum dedit. Eidem postmodum nostri
temporis dux, vt sanguinis, ita & nominis hares, ex filia nepos obuenit.
Itaque hinc Britannicus, inde Eous sanguis in salutarem nostri principis
ortum confluens communem stirpem duaram gentium ornamentum effecit.
