The Gesta Danorum (Books I-IX) on Urse
The Danish History, > Book Two
attestation: Urse schemed to rob Athisl of both bed and money by feigning to turn her son against him while actually plotting to flee with the royal treasure
"she thought that she would best gain her desire if, as soon as her son had got his stepfather's gold, she could snatch up the royal treasures and flee, robbing her husband of bed and money to hoot"
attestation: Urse stole all of King Athisl's wealth on the third night of the banquet and fled with her son Rolf
"on the third day of the banquet, without her husband ever dreaming of such a thing, put all the king's wealth into carriages, and going out stealthily, stole away from her own dwelling and fled"
attestation: Urse ordered gold scattered on the road to delay pursuit, citing the precedent of Frode's stratagem among the Britons
"they must follow the example of the manner in which Frode was said to have saved himself among the Britons"
attestation: Some accounts say Urse scattered gilded copper rather than real gold to deceive the pursuers
"Some declare that Urse kept back the money, and strewed the tracks of her flight with copper that was gilt over"
