Kjalnesinga saga
Kjalnesinga saga (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈcʰalˌnɛːsiŋka ˈsaːɣa] listenⓘ) is one of the sagas of Icelanders (Íslendingasögur). It is preserved in a parchment manuscript AM 471 4to.[1][2]
The work concerns historical ages from the ninth to eleventh centuries,[1] and was composed in the fourteenth century, among the last group of sagas composed.[3][4] The saga is about Búi Andríðsson, his wife Fríðr and his son Jökull Búason. The story takes place in Iceland and Norway. Búi becomes a chieftain of Iceland but dies in a quarrel with his son Jökul. The tale continues with the adventures of Jökul in the short story (þáttr) Jökuls þáttr Búasonar.[5][6]
