The Jómsvíkinga saga (English: ''Saga of the Jomsvikings'') is a medieval Icelandic saga. The Saga was composed in Iceland during the 13th Century. It exists in several manuscripts which vary from each other. 〔 Słupecki, Leszek P. ''Facts and fancy in Jómsvíkinga saga'' in ''The Fantastic in Old Norse/Icelandic Literature: Preprint Papers of the 13th International Saga Conference'' (Durham: Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2006)〕 ''Jómsvíkinga saga'' portrays the founding of Jomsborg on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea by the legendary Danish chieftain Palnatoke. Palnatoki also founded the brotherhood of Jomsvikings. It describes the brotherhood and the laws of the Jomsvikings. It also relates their defeat during the semi-legendary naval Battle of Hjörungavágr in 986. This battle occurred between the Jarls of Lade and the Danish invasion fleet of King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark. Jomsviking chieftain Sigvaldi Strut-Haraldsson led the Jomsvikings in an effort to depose Jarl Haakon Sigurdsson, vassal ruler of Norway. Historians have found it difficult to classify the ''Jómsvíkinga saga'' among the Old Norse sagas. It is sometimes counted among the Kings' sagas based principally upon the association with Danish kings. 〔Finlay, Alison ''History and fantasy in Jómsvíkinga saga'' in ''The Fantastic in Old Norse/Icelandic Literature: Preprint Papers of the 13th International Saga Conference'' (Durham: Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2006)〕 ==See also== *Jómsvíkingadrápa 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jómsvíkinga saga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
