{{refimprove|date=November 2016}}Freawine, Frowin or Frowinus figures as a governor of Schleswig in Gesta Danorum^[1] and in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as an ancestor of the kings of Wessex, but the latter source only tells that he was the son of Frithugar and the father of Wig.^[2]

In the Gesta Danorum, Frowin was the father-in-law of Offa of Angel (presented as a prince and later king of Denmark), whose father king Wermund liked both Frowin and his sons Ket and Wig.^[3]

Frowin was challenged to combat by the Swedish king Athisl, and killed.^[4] He would later be avenged by his two sons Ket and Wig.^[5] However, the two sons fought against Athisl two against one, a national disgrace that was redeemed by their brother-in-law Offa, when he killed two Saxons at the same time, in "single combat".^[6] This event is referred to in Widsith as a duel against Eadgils of the Myrgings.
