Notes

Marcus Licinius Crassus Frugi (flourished 1st century BC), also known as Marcus Licinius Crassus Dives was the adoptive son of consul Marcus Licinius Crassus Dives, the grandson of triumvir Marcus Licinius Crassus. Although this act is often attributed to his adoptive father, the defeat of the Thracian Bastarnae in Macedonia and the killing their King Deldo in single combat in 29 BC was likely the act of young Licinius.

Licinius is featured in the Swyddian sagas of Scandinavia, where he appears as Loki Jotunhemr, the antagonist of both the Asir and Vanyir. Jotunheimr is the Gothic-Swyddian term for Romans, further validating the identity of Licinius as Loki. The relative familiarity and tolerance with which Loki's exploits are tolerated may indicate that prior to his adoption itn the Licinius Crassus family, he was affilated with the Geatian nobility. That one of the main Allies of Licinius in the overthrow of the Bastarne was Rholes Burus of Waleski and it is possible he is affiliated with that family.

In the sagas Loki is more formally "reckoned among the Æsir", and called by some "the Æsir's calumniator", "originator of deceits", and "the disgrace of all gods and men". High says that Loki's alternative name is Lopt, that he is the son of the male jötunn Farbauti (A Roman), his mother is "Laufey or Nál (Origin Uncertain)", and his "brothers" are Helblindi (Reference to blindness [Anaridia]) and Býleistr (Lightning). High describes Loki as "pleasing and handsome" in appearance, malicious in character, "very capricious in behaviour", and as possessing "to a greater degree than others" learned cunning, and "tricks for every purpose", often getting the Æsir into trouble, and then getting them out of it with his trickery. Loki's wife is named Sigyn, and they have a son named "Nari or Narfi". Otherwise, Loki had three children with the female jötunn Angrboða from Jötunheimr; the wolf Fenrir, the serpent Jörmungandr, and the female being Hel. The gods realized that these three children were being raised in Jötunheimr, and expected trouble from them partially due to the nature of Angrboða, but worse yet Loki. In chapter 35, Gangleri comments that Loki produced a "pretty terrible"—yet important—family.

The term Jotunn was the term the Geats(Goths) used to refer to Romans.

Angrboda means "She who brings sad tidings" or "Bearer of Sadness."

Jormungandr may be a reference to Marcus Arelius the thrice great grandson of Loki whose empire in 180 circled the known world.

Links to the third branch of the family corresponding to the Fenris Wolf remains a mystery due likely to missing genealogical data.

The name Hel is a likely reference to (Helen) Maurenia the high priestess of Nehalennia. This goddess was the Goddess of Intervention and Refuge for Seafarers. The priestess of her cult was the great grandaughter of Loki.

Helblindi is likely a reference to the one of the sons of Rholes Burus whose nickname indicates the manifestation of the PAX6 genetic mutation that causes Anaridia.

The name Bylistr may refer either to Rholus Burus, Burubista, or Barzafarnes of Parthia, whose name and clan symbol was the lighting bolt.

It is certain that then name Laufey and Nal are Parthian names.
