what you used in a quote ...
The story can be found in the Historica Danica under the saga of Amleth. His story got also later used in stories about Havelok, Horn and Bevis of Hampton.
Later in the 10th century, there is already a mention of Amlodhi/Amleth in the famous Prose Edda of Iceland, giving basicly the same story.
To read the story of the 'real' Hamlet, I suggest you read the Saxo Grammaticus as I currently can't get bothered searching my books about it.
The story of Hamlet was known to the Elizabethans in Francois de Belleforest's Histoires tragiques, an English version, The Hystorie of Hamblet was published in 1608. That as early as 1587 or 1589 Hamlet had appeared on the English stage is shown by Nashe's preface to Greene's Menaphon (under the name of Ur-Hamlet). The Shakespearean Hamlet owes, however, little but the outline of his story to Saxo since in Shakespear's version he's wimpy, in the Saxo he is brave and attacks his uncle right away.
