This page shows two alternative ancestries offered for Woden (aka Odin or Wotan or Bodo).
| This ancestry is given by 'RoyalData' which reports the Icelandic 'Prose Edda'. It can be found in several records although many, not wishing to push the mythical nature of this ancestry too far, prefer to start with Sceaf (example: 'The Royal Line of Succession', published by Pitkin Guides Ltd in 1996, ISBN 0-85372-404-0) or later. | |||||||||||||||
