Heimskringla, The Chronicle of the Kings of Norway, by Snorre Sturlason Heimskringla is a collection of tales about Old Norse Norwegian kings, beginning with the Ynglinga dynasty, followed by accounts of historical Norwegian rulers from Harald Fairhair of the 800s up to the death of the pretender Eystein Meyla in 1177.
