Cormac
Figure referenced in the Gesta Danorum as a source for early Teutonic custom-law.
Cormac appears in the Gesta Danorum in a scholarly context, where Saxo's work is compared with other sources of early Teutonic custom-law. The commentary notes that "along with 'Cormac's Saga', 'Landnamaboc', and the Walter Saga, our author has furnished us with most of the information we have upon its principles and practice" (Gesta Danorum, Customary Law). This positions Cormac's Saga as one of the key comparative texts for understanding the legal traditions Saxo describes.
Cormac is connected to Orkney, Bruide Mac Meilcon, St. Columba, and the Picts, suggesting a broader role in the Norse-Celtic contact zone beyond the single attestation in the Gesta Danorum.
