The legendary kings of Denmark are the predecessors of Gorm the Old, a king who reigned ca. 930s to 950s and is the earliest reliably attested Danish ruler. Historicity of the earlier legendary kings are thus half legend and half history. The accounts of the Danish kings of the Dark Ages are confusing and contradictory, and so this article tries to separate the various sources from one another. Different sources do sometimes mention the same kings.
