Eymundar þáttr hrings

Eymundar þáttr hrings

"Eymundar þáttr hrings" is a short Norse saga, which is preserved in two versions. One of them appears as "Eymundar þáttr hrings" in the Flatey Book and the other one is an introductory chapter in "Yngvars saga víðförla". They deal with the adventures of Varangians in the service of Yaroslav I the Wise.

The main difference between the two versions is that in "Eymundar þáttr hrings", the hero is a Norwegian, whereas "Yngvars saga víðförla" describes him as a Swede.
