So while the Saxons, sad and shamefaced, bore their champions to burial with bitter shame, the Danes welcomed Uffe and bounded for joy.

Then no more was heard of the disgrace of the murder of Athisl, and there was an end of the taunts of the Saxons.
Thus the realm of Saxony was transferred to the Danes, and Uffe, after his father, undertook its government; and he, who had not been thought equal to administering a single kingdom properly, was now appointed to manage both.

Most men have called him Olaf, and he has won the name of "the Gentle" for his forbearing spirit.

His later deeds, lost in antiquity, have lacked formal record.

But it may well be supposed that when their beginnings were so notable, their sequel was glorious.
