Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"The Story of Frithiof the Bold" by Anonymous is an Icelandic legendary saga from around 1300. Set in 8th-century Norway, it tells the tale of Frithiof, the tallest and bravest among men, who loves Ingeborg, daughter of King Beli. When her jealous brothers deny their union and send Frithiof away, they burn his home and force Ingeborg to marry an aged king. Frithiof's journey takes him from heartbreak to Viking raids, ultimately leading to a dramatic confrontation that will determine his fate and kingdom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
