De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum (996 - 1020) Dudo of Saint-Quentin |
| Quotation |
Igitur Daci nuncupantur a suis Danai, vel Dani, glorianturque se ex Antenore progenitos; qui, quondam Trojae finibus depopulatis, mediis elapsus Achivis, Illyricos fines penetravit cum suis. Illi namque Daci relato ritu olim a suis expulsi, qua suos tractus Francia protense exporgit, cum duce Anstigno ferociter sunt appulsi. |
| Translation |
And so the Daci call themselves Danai, or Danes, and boast that they are descended from Antenor; who when in former times the lands of Troy were laid waste, 'slipped away through the middle of the Greeks' and 'penetrated' the confines 'of Illyria' with his own men. Now these Dacians were once driven out from their own people by the ceremony I have described, and were fiercely driven to where Francia spreads out its wide expanse, along with their leader Hasting. (Translation: Eric Christensen 1998, p. 16) |
