Skáld-Helga saga explained

Skáld-Helga saga (the saga of poet-Helgi) is a lost Íslendingasaga. The action is set in Iceland, Norway, and Greenland from around 1000 to 1050. The main character is Helgi Þórðarson, who travels to Greenland and becomes a prominent figure at Brattahlíð. The contents are first attested in the fourteenth-century rímur Skáld-Helga rímur,[1] but this was rewritten as a prose saga in the modern period, and is known through Gísli Konráðsson's account of c. 1820.
