Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
Arrgh! Atrocious English - and English grammar - for a native English woman. If you must use the phrase, please only one verb in the past tense [statement format shown for clarity]:
"The Danes used to be"
OR
"The Danes did use to be"
BUT NOT two past tenses (DID) and (USED) together.

"didn't" [the Danes] "used to be"
