This apocryphal and fragmented medieval story of how King Hjálmar and his friend and later son-in-law Hramer engage in several conflicts in ancient Scandinavia, was fabricated by Lucas Halpap, possibly assisted by Nils Rabenius or Carl Lund. It was undoubtedly inspired by the vogue for spectacular ancient discoveries in the service of indigenous local history. A second ‘Continuationem’ (8 pp.) was published in 1815, after Nordin’s death in 1812.
