Havelok, Close Rolls, 7 Edward IV.
(Scandinavian) Sea - Sport or Sea- Contest [Old Norse Hafleik-r-haf = Old English (poet.) hæf, Dano-Norwegian hav, sea + Old Norse leik-r = Old English lác, sport, contest] The Ancient English Romance of Have- lok the Dane, accompanied by the French text (Le Lai de Aveloc), was published in 1828 by Sir F. Madden. In 1868, Skeat edited The Lay of Havelok the Dane, and re-edited it in 1902— And drof hem [them] intil Engelond, That al was sithen [then] in his hond, His, that Hauelok was the name.—ll. 725-7.
HVELOCK: A well-known Danish personal name. Geoffrey Gaimar'3 metrical romance, called "Le Lai d'Havelok le Danois," records the valorous doings of a great Danish chieftain. The family of the greatest hero of his age, the late Gen. Sir Henry Havelock, claimed to be of Danish extraction, having been, according to tradition, a scion of an ancient race descended from Guthrun, the historical viking of the days of Alfred, and settled at Great Grimsby from his time! There is indeed a tradition that that town was so named from a merchant called Grime, who obtained great wealth and honour in consequence of his having brought up an exposed child called Haveloc, who, after having been scullion in the king's kitchen, turned out to be a Danish prince. The curious corporate seal of the town seems to have some allusion to the circumstance, as it bears the names of ' Grym' and ' Habloc; ' and one of the boundary marks of the corporation is known as ' Haveloc's Stone.'
