Sagas are stories mostly about ancient Nordic and Germanic history, early Viking voyages, the battles that took place during the voyages and migration to Iceland and of feuds between Icelandic families. They were written in the Old Norse language, mainly in Iceland. Kings' sagas are of the lives of Scandinavian kings. They were composed in the 12th to 14th centuries. The Icelanders' sagas, a.k.a. Family Sagas, are stories of real events, passed in oral form till they eventually were recorded, mostly in the 13th century. These are the highest form of the classical Icelandic saga writing. Legendary Sagas blend remote history with myth or legend. The aim is on a lively narrative and entertainment.Contents:Kings' SagasYnglinga SagaHalfdan the Black SagaHarald Harfager's SagaHakon the Good's SagaSaga of King Harald Grafeld and of Earl Hakon Son of SigurdKing Olaf Trygvason's SagaSaga of Olaf Haraldson (St. Olaf)Saga of Magnus the GoodSaga of Harald HardradeSaga of Olaf KyrreMagnus Barefoot's SagaSaga of Sigurd the Crusader and His Brothers Eystein and OlafSaga of Magnus the Blind and of Harald GilleSaga of Sigurd, Inge, and Eystein, the Sons of HaraldSaga of Hakon HerdebreidMagnus Erlingson's SagaSagas of IcelandersEgil's Saga (The Story of Egil Skallagrimsson)Laxdæla Saga The Saga of Hrafnkell, Frey's Priest The Story of the Confederates (Bandamanna saga) The Saga of Gisli the Outlaw The Saga of Gunnlaug the Worm-Tongue and Raven the SkaldSaga of the GreenlandersErik the Red's SagaGrettir's Saga (The Story of Grettir the Strong)Njal's Saga (The story of Burnt Njal)The Saga of Cormac the SkaldThe Saga of Howard the HaltThe Saga of the Ere-DwellersThe Saga of Thrond of GateThe Saga of Viga-GlumThe Saga of Viglund the FairThe Saga of Hen-Thorir Legendary SagasVolsunga SagaFrithiof's Saga
