[QUOTE="DrT999, post: 438603, member: 1935"] The Icelandic Sagas are epic poems (many of them are also called the Edda) set down c. 1000-1300, some about the different groups that settled Iceland and Greenland, some about the various Norse kings, some are pagan mythology, some tales about Norse Christian bishops and saints. King Harald's Saga is about the life of the Norwegian king who travelled to Byzantium, hacked his way to the throne of Norway, and then was killed by Harold of England right before the Norman invasion for example; while another is about Erik the Red. So, these are the sources written by the Vikings (or at least their grandchildren) as opposed to books about the Vikings. [/QUOTE]
