This is a description that the author Wiljo writes about herself.
Wiljo from the Saxonmarks
Frethorik, my husband is become 63 years old.
In a hundred and eight years is he the first of his family who has died peacefully, all others are succumbed to blows, therefore that all fought with their own and foreign people for right and duty.
My name is Wil-io, I am the maid who traveled home with him from the Saxonmarks.
Through talk and association came it out that we were both from Adela’s folk, then came love and afterwards are we become man and wife.
He has given me five children, 2 sons and three daughters.
Konered thus is my first called, Hachgana my second, my eldest daughter is called Adela, the other Frulik and the youngest Nocht.
When I traveled to the Saxonmarks, have I written three books.
The book of songs, of tales, and the Hellenia book.
I write this so that one might not think that they are by Apollania;
I have had much trouble thereover and will thus also have the honour.
Also have I done more, when Gosa Makonta was fallen, whose goodness and clear sight is become proverb,
then am I gone to Texland in order to copy the scripture over, which she had left behind, and when the last will of Frana was found and the remaining writings of Dela, I have done that one more time.
