Araldo casso, filli ejus duo confestim in 

 Daniam cum sorore migrarunt. Quos 

 Sweno, paterni illorum meriti oblitus con- 

 sanguineae pietatis more accepitjpuellamque 

 Ruthenorum regi Waldemaro, (qui & ipse 

 Jarislaus a suis est appellatus) nuptum 

 dedit. Eidem postmodum nostri temporis 



dux, ut sanguinis, ita & nominis haeres, ex filia nepos 

 obvenit. Itaque hinc Britannicus, inde Ecus sanguis 

 in salutarem nostri principis ortum confluens communem 

 stirpem duarum gentium ornamentum effecit.

HArald being slaine his two sonnes with their sister 

 sped themselves immediatly into Denmarke. Whom 

 Sweno forgetting their fathers deserts received in most 

 kinde and friendly maner, and bestowed the yong damosell 

 in mariage upon Waldemarus king of Russia who was 

 also called by his subjects Jarislaus. Afterward the said 

 Waldemarus had by his daughter a nephew being duke 

 at this present, who succeeded his predecessour both in 

 lineal descent and in name also. Wherefore the English 

 blood on the one side and the Russian on the other 

 side concurring to the joyfull birth of our prince, caused 

 that mutual kinred to be an ornament unto both nations.
