Kuningastarinoita by Snorri Sturluson
"Kuningastarinoita" by Snorri Sturluson is a collection of sagas written around 1230. This epic chronicle traces the history of Swedish and Norwegian kings from mythological origins through 1177. Beginning with the legendary Yngling dynasty descended from Norse gods, the sagas progress through centuries of rulers, their conquests, and expeditions across Europe. The work blends mythology with increasingly historical accounts, culminating in dramatic tales of battles, crusades, and the establishment of the Norwegian
kingdom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
