Saxo Grammaticus
Saxo Grammaticus (c. 1150 – c. 1220), also known as Saxo Longus, was a Danish historian and theologian. He is thought to have been a clerk or secretary to Absalon, Archbishop of Lund, the main advisor to Valdemar I of Denmark. He is the author of the Gesta Danorum, the first full history of Denmark, from which the legend of Amleth would come to inspire the story of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
