According to this, Wôden had seven sons (Bældæg being common to
two royal lines); elsewhere he has only three, e.g. Wil. Malm. p. 17: tres filii,
Weldegius, Withlegius et Beldegius, from whom the Kentish kings, the Mercian
kings, and the West Saxon and Northumbrian kings respectively were descended.

Some accounts contain only four links, others eight, others sixteen,
stopping either at Fridhuwulf, at Geát, or at Sceáf. Sceáf is the oldest heathen
name; but after the conversion the line was connected with Noah, and so with
Adam!
