Everything about Ket And Wig totally explained
Ket and
Wig appear in the
Gesta Danorum (book 4) as the sons of
Frowin, the governor of
Schleswig. Wig also appears in the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as the son of Freawine (Frowin), and it adds that he was father of
Gewis and one of the ancestors of the
kings of Wessex.
Their father Frowin/Freawine was challenged to combat by the Swedish king
Athisl, and killed. King Wermund who liked their father subsequently raised Ket and Wig as his own. They later avenged their father, but they fought against Athisl two against one, a national disgrace that was redeemed by their brother-in-law, King Wermund's son
Offa, when he killed two Saxons at the same time, in "single combat". This event is referred to in
Widsith as a duel against
Myrgings.
