The legend and the lay are not of ultimately Norse origin, but derived from the area whence the English came. No doubt *''Mircwudu'' would have appeared in it.

Among the many gifts and territories that he promised to give them in stanza 5 is mentioned ''hrís þat et mæera es menn Myrkvið kalla'' 'that renowned forest that men call Mirkwood'."
