It is said of Donaldbane, that he fled to Ireland "where he was tenderlie cherished by the king of that land"; similarly, Hroar went to Northumberland, where he received a hearty welcome and later married King Northri's daughter, Ögn. Siward was first an earl in Denmark; similarly, Sævil was an earl in Denmark.
Hroar married Ögn, the daughter of Northri, shared the royal power with his father-in-law, and after Northri's death succeeded to the throne of Northumberland. Helgi remained at home, and, by agreement with Hroar, became sole King of Denmark. In Saxo's seventh book, there is another version of the same story.
