Grœnlendinga þáttr (I)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grœnlendinga þáttr ('The Tale of the Greenlanders') is a short story about the exploration of Vinland in North America by Leif Erikson and later Norse explorers, including Thorvald Eiriksson, Thorfinn Karlsefni, and Freydís Eiríksdóttir.[1]
The tale is preserved in the Flateyjarbók, in columns 281–288, where it is interpolated into the Saga of Óláfr Tryggvason.[2][1] It is commonly combined and translated with Eiríks þáttr rauða as the Saga of the Greenlanders.
