Sturlunga saga
''Sturlunga saga'' (often called simply ''Sturlunga'') is a collection of Icelandic sagas by various authors from the 12th and 13th centuries; it was assembled in about 1300. It mostly deals with the story of the Sturlungs, a powerful family clan during the Age of the Sturlungs period of the Icelandic Commonwealth.
''Sturlunga saga'' covers the history of Iceland between 1117 and 1264.〔"Sturlunga saga", Rudolf Simek and Hermann Pálsson, ''Lexikon der altnordischen Literatur'', Kröners Taschenausgabe 490, Stuttgart: Kröner, 1987, ISBN 9783520490018, pp. 339–41 〕 It begins with ''Geirmundar þáttr heljarskinns'', the legend of Geirmundr heljarskinn, a regional ruler in late 9th-century Norway, who moves to Iceland to escape the growing power of King Harald Finehair.〔Jan de Vries, ''Altnordische Literaturgeschichte'', Volume 2 ''Die Literatur von etwa 1150 bis 1300; die Spätzeit nach 1300'', Grundriss der germanischen Philologie 16, 2nd ed. Berlin: de Gruyter, 1967, OCLC 270854789, p. 308 〕 The more historical sagas commence in 1117 with ''Þorgils saga ok Hafliða''. Other sagas included in the collection are ''Sturlu saga'', ''Prestssaga Guðmundar Arasonar'', ''Guðmundar saga biskups'', ''Hrafns saga Sveinbjarnarsonar'', ''Þórðar saga kakala'', ''Svínfellinga saga'' and ''Íslendinga saga'', composed by Sturla Þórðarson, which constitutes almost half of the compilation and covers the period 1183–1264.〔 The compiler assembled the components in chronological order, added þættir including ''Geirmundar þáttr'' and ''Haukdæla þáttr'' and genealogies, and endeavoured to combine them into a single work, usually replacing the beginning and the ending with a linking passage.〔Sverrir Tómasson, "Old Icelandic Prose", in ''A History of Icelandic Literature'', ed. Daisy Neijmann, Histories of Scandinavian Literature 5, Lincoln, Nebraska / London: University of Nebraska, 2006, ISBN 978-0-8032-3346-1, pp. 64–173, 84–85.〕 In some cases he broke up sagas to achieve chronological order.〔〔For details of all the components, see de Vries, pp. 308–13.〕
''Sturlunga saga'' is the main source of Icelandic history during the 12th and 13th centuries and was written by people who experienced the internal power struggle which ended in Iceland's loss of sovereignty and submission to Norway in 1262–64; the descriptions of wounds in ''Íslendinga saga'' are so detailed that they may be based on eyewitness accounts used in compensation claims.〔Sverrir, p. 85.〕 It is also indispensable for the details of social history which it contains.〔 Indirect evidence suggests that it was compiled by Þórðr Narfason (d. 1308),〔de Vries, p. 313.〕 who may also have written ''Geirmundar þáttr'' and ''Haukdæla þáttr'' and possibly also ''Sturlu þáttr''.〔
The work is preserved in somewhat differing versions in two defective Western Icelandic parchments dating to the second half of the 14th century, the Króksfjarðarbók and the Reykjafjarðarbók (AM 122 a fol. and AM 122 b fol.),〔 and in 17th-century paper manuscripts derived from these. The former also contains material from ''Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar''; the latter contains interpolations from ''Þorgils saga Skarða'' and also contains ''Sturlu þáttr'' and two sagas which are not usually counted as part of ''Sturlunga saga'', ''Jartegna saga Guðmundar biskups'' and ''Arna saga biskups''.〔〔
