Helgi Saxo appears to have mixed Helgi Hundingbane with the Danish king Halga, as he claims that Helgi killed a Saxon king named Hunding. Hothbrodd was made a Swedish king and given Ohthere's position in the line. Because of this the Norwegian scholar Bugge tried, in 1896, to connect him to the Skjöldung Helgi. Due to this modification, Helgi's residence Hringstaðir is occasionally interpreted as the Danish Ringsted. Others have remarked that, in the Norse sagas the Ylfings are never called Danish, and the only territory that they are said to have ruled is East Götaland. In the first poem (Helgakviða Hundingsbana I), Sinfjotle has his residence on the Bravellir (the plain west of Bråviken in East Götaland, see Battle of Bråvalla) and Helgi resides at Hringstaðir (probably modern Ringstad, an old royal estate on the same plain existing well before, and during, the 7th century). Moreover, in the Heimskringla, their enemy Granmar (the father of Hothbrodd) was the king of Södermanland, which is adjacent to East Götaland, and not of Sweden. The Danish school The Norwegian scholar Sophus Bugge argued for a Danish origin of the underlying story. He noted the similarity between the name of the primary antagonist Höðbrodd, and antagonists of the Beowulf epic, the Heaðobards. The latter are noted for fighting against the Danish Scylding Helgi, comparable to Höðbrodd's fight against Helgi. Bugge furthermore points to a number of (semi-)identifiable places in Denmark and northern Germany: Hringstað is elsewhere attested as the Old Norse name for Ringsted. Heðinsey is elsewhere attested as the Old Norse name for Hiddensee. Varinsfirði may point to a place near where the Warnabi or Varini used to live. Bugge identifies it with the mouth of the river Warnow. Svarinshaug may be connected to the Suarines and hence be nearby modern Schwerin. Örvasund may either be the Øresund, or a translation of Slavic Stralsund, i.e. arrow-sound. Móinsheim may be connected to the Danish isle of Mön. Adams-Bellows points out Hátún may be the village of Tune. Bugge connects the Sigarsvellir with the Danish town of Sigersted near Ringsted. Hlésey may be the Danish island of Læsø. Bugge therefore argues the war between Helgi and Höðbrodd is a rendition of an ancient war between the Danes and Heaðobards, as a family feud. In the Helgakviða Hundingsbana I, it is said of Höðbrodd's army that Indeed, Mön would be a logical place for a
