Nitida saga
The Nitida saga or Nítíða saga is a fictional late medieval Icelandic romance saga thought to have been composed in Iceland in the fourteenth century.〔M. J. Driscoll, ‘Nitida saga’, in ''Medieval Scandinavia: An Encyclopedia'', ed. by Phillip Pulsiano and others (New York: Garland, 1993), p. 432.〕 This saga is about a maiden-king named Nitida, who rules over France, and who is pursued by kings and princes from such faraway places as Constantinople, India, and a place the saga calls the Land of the Saracens. It is thought to be a direct response to ''Klári saga'': in ''Klári saga'', the main female protagonist, Serena, is brutally punished for her initial refusal to marry the hero Klárus, whereas the heroine of ''Nitida saga'' is portrayed much more favourably.〔Paul Bibire, 'From Riddarasaga to Lygisaga: The Norse Response to Romance', in Les Sagas de Chevaliers (Riddarasögur): Actes de la Ve Conférence Internationale sur les Sagas Présentés par Régis Boyer (Toulon. Juillet 1982), ed. by Régis Boyer, Serie Civilisations, 10 (Toulon: Presses de l’Université Paris-Sorbonne, 1985), pp. 55-74, at pp. 67, 70.〕 Ethnicity, travel, and geography play important roles in the saga, and questions of gender and power, while magic, trickery, and deception are also prominent.〔Barnes, ‘Margin vs. Centre: Geopolitics in Nitida saga (A Cosmographical Comedy?)’, in The Fantastic in Old Norse/Icelandic Literature: Sagas and the British Isles, Preprint Papers of the Thirteenth International Saga Conference, Durham and York, 6–12 August 2006, ed. by John McKinnell, David Ashurst, and Donata Kick, 2 vols (Durham: CMRS, 2006), i, 104–12, available at (http://www.dur.ac.uk/medieval.www/sagaconf/barnes.htm ); cf.

Kalinke, and P. M. Mitchell, Bibliography of Old Norse-Icelandic Romances, Islandica, 44 (London: Cornell University Press, 1985), pp. 85–86.〕
