The Story of Frithiof the Bold by Anonymous

"The Story of Frithiof the Bold" by Anonymous is an Icelandic legendary saga from around 1300. Set in 8th-century Norway, it tells the tale of Frithiof, the tallest and bravest among men, who loves Ingeborg, daughter of King Beli. When her jealous brothers deny their union and send Frithiof away, they burn his home and force Ingeborg to marry an aged king.
