| Translation text: | About Hygelac King of the Gauts
And there are freaks of nature of remarkable size, such as King Higlac, who ruled the Gauts and was killed by the Franks [...] His bones are preserved on an island in the River Rhine where it breaks out into the (North) Sea and are exhibited as a marval to people who come from afar. | ||||||||
