Indices: Places and People in the Chronicon Roskildense

After headword and description with some equivalences, I give the section numbers in the Chronicon Roskildense where the place or person appears by name. On the following lines (if any), all the different specific forms in which these proper names appear in the text are listed. Some names are treated inconsistently, sometimes using Latin endings according to a particular declension and sometimes not -- such different versions of the same name are listed on different lines. Where a series of forms does fit into a Latin declensional pattern, such forms are all listed in the same line side by side. If a name (or version of a name) listed below does not have a declension number (DI, DII, DIII), be prepared for it to be conceptually in any case depending on context.
