A child-god from the Norse culture. He came across the sea of Denmark in a boat with a sheaf (bundle) of corn beside him and founded a kingdom there. Other versions say that he landed on the island of Scani with a boat full of different weapons and was made king. In both cases, the story is similar to the story of Syld.
