Dygvi's mother was Drótt, a daughter of King Danp, the son of Ríg, who was first called "konungr" ['king'] in the Danish tongue [(Old Norse)]. His descendants always afterwards considered the title of "konungr" the title of highest dignity. Dygvi was the first of his family to be called "konungr", for his predecessors had been called "dróttinn" ['chieftain'], and their wives "dróttning", and their court "drótt" ['war band']. Each of their race was called Yngvi, or Ynguni, and the whole race together Ynglingar. Queen Drótt was a sister of King Dan Mikilláti, from whom Denmark took its name.
