Karlamagnús saga

The Karlamagnús saga (actually Karlamagnús saga ok kappa hans ) is one that is available in two versions, an older and a younger Old Icelandic Old Norse version, narrated prose compilation in the center of which become the legendary figure of Charlemagne. The ten adventures are quite loosely strung together and less homogeneous than in the otherwise related Thidrekssaga. As she says this, but the fate of twelve around the central figure of the gathering companions.

As the oldest textual witness a fragment from the 13th century is received, the first almost completely preserved parchment manuscript dates from the 14th century. Is about the middle of the 13th century and thus as time of origin - accepted the reign Hákon Hákonarsons - as in the Thidrekssaga.
