Fljótsdæla saga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fljótsdæla saga is one of the Icelanders' sagas. It is thought to have been the last one written, perhaps from about 1500, probably by an author in the East Fjords. As a sequel to the excellent Hrafnkels saga it is disappointing but as a work of fiction in its own right it has its moments.

The story revolves around the lives and times of the residents of the Fljótsdalur region in Iceland, including Helgi Ásbjarnarson and Helgi and Grímr sons of Droplaug, a pair of brothers who have their own saga, Droplaugarsona saga.
