Fróði Fróði (Old Norse: "Frōði" ; Old English: "Frōda" ; Middle High German: "Vruote") is the name of a number of legendary Danish kings in various texts including "Beowulf", Snorri Sturluson's "Prose Edda" and his "Ynglinga saga", Saxo Grammaticus' "Gesta Danorum", and the "Grottasöngr". A Danish king by this name also appears as a minor character in the Middle High German epic "Die Rabenschlacht". The name is possibly an eponym for the god Freyr.
