Wikipedia
Other than this, Sceaf is mentioned only in chronicles tracing the lineage of the English kings, although variants are found in similar genealogies for the rulers of the Danes, Norwegians and Icelanders in the sagas.
Most such genealogies stop at the god Woden, but some trace the supposed ancestors of Woden up to a certain Geat.
The account in the Historia Britonum calls Geat a son of a god.
Asser in his Life of Alfred writes instead that the pagans worshipped Geat himself for a long time as a god.
