Skáld-Helga saga
Skáld-Helga saga (the saga of poet-Helgi) is a lost Íslendingasaga. The action is set in Iceland, Norway, and Greenland from around 1000 to 1050. The main character is Helgi Þórðarson, who travels to Greenland and becomes a prominent figure at Brattahlíð. The contents are first attested in the fourteenth-century rímur Skáld-Helga rímur[1], but this was rewritten as a prose saga in the modern period, and is known through Gísli Konráðsson's account of c. 1820.

gollark: I see.
gollark: I can send you the PDFs, but bottom line it will be very annoying. They should really let us work remotely two days a week or something.
gollark: Also, Wikipedia without images and stuff is only 15GB, so you could save that.
gollark: Oh, did the school bother to send you the COVID-19 policy docs for next term?
gollark: Although my movies/TV/random YouTube are stored on my server at home, which made them not too helpful.
