 "Holmrygir" are mentioned in an Old Norse Skaldic poem, "Hákonarmál", and probably also in the Haraldskvæði.James Campbell has argued that, regarding Bede's "Rugini", "the sense of the Latin is that these are the peoples from whom the Anglo-Saxons living in Britain were derived".The Rugini would thus be among the ancestors of the Anglo-Saxons.
