Eiríks þáttr rauða
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eiríks þáttr rauða ('The Tale of Erik the Red') is a short story about Erik the Red, the conversion of his son, Leif Erikson, to Christianity, and the Norse discovery of North America by Bjarni Herjólfsson.[1]
The tale is preserved in the Flateyjarbók, in columns 221–223, where it is interpolated into the Saga of Óláfr Tryggvason.[2][1] It is commonly combined and translated with Grœnlendinga þáttr (I) as the Saga of the Greenlanders.
