Hacott, who having been educated at'the court of Athelft.ane, king of England, is called by the Icelandic hifiorians Adaljleinsfojiri, or the fojler-fon of Athal/lane. This truly good and great king fucceeded his father Haraldthe Hairfair, on the Norwegian throne, in the year of Chrift 936, and was llain in a battle by his brothers in 950.

See the Anglo- Saxon tranflation from Orofius, tranflated into Englifli by the honourable Daines' , Barrington, Lond. 1773, p. 24. On this occafion I {hall beg leave to differ from the learned Judge, as well as Dr. Forfter, who in his notes, p. 255, places Sciringeflieal on the {hores of Uplan- ds, or Gothland, and of at Hethum, p. 25, makes Al-hedAm, p. 255, which he Z aliens
