Unlike "Chronicon Roskildense", which deals primarily with information presented as real historical facts after the introduction of Christianity in Denmark, "Chronicon Lethrense" is a recording of folklore about the old pre-Christian Danish kings and the adventure stories that were eventually associated with them. In that sense it is not much different from the first part of Sven Aggesøn's "Brevis Historia Regum Dacie" or Saxo's "Gesta Danorum", though considerably smaller and of much lesser quality. It is sometimes referred to as the "Chronicle of the Kings of Lejre."
