Fljótsdæla saga

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fljótsdæla saga is an Icelandic saga probably from the 15th century to the first half of the 16th century. The saga has been handed down through the manuscript AM 551c, 4 °, incomplete and complete as a copy AM 451.4 °.

The saga is without historical relevance, materially, formally pronounced and useful for entertainment. It is a compilation of content from the Droplaugarsona saga and the Gunnars þáttr Þiðrandabana and is designed as a continuation of the Hrafnkels saga .
