Parallels have been pointed out between Njörðr and the figure of [[Hadingus]], attested in book I of [[Saxo Grammaticus]]' 13th century work ''[[Gesta Danorum]]''.{{Sfn|Lindow|2001|pp=157–158}}  Some of these similarities include that, in parallel to Skaði and Njörðr in ''Skáldskaparmál'', Hadingus is chosen by his wife Ragnhild after selecting him from other men at a banquet by his lower legs, and, in parallel to Skaði and Njörðr in ''Gylfaginning'', Hadingus complains in verse of his displeasure at his life away from the sea and how he is disturbed by the howls of wolves, while his wife Regnhild complains of life at the shore and states her annoyance at the screeching sea birds.{{Sfn|Lindow|2001|pp=157–158}} [[Georges Dumézil]] theorized that in the tale Hadingus passes through all three functions of his [[trifunctional hypothesis]], before ending as an Odinic hero, paralleling Njörðr's passing from the Vanir to the Æsir in the [[Æsir-Vanir War]].{{Sfn|Dumézil|1973}}
