The sagas are stories and histories of persons from the early Viking period and Middle Ages. They generally contain names of persons, genealogies of families, relationships, residences. They cover the time from the 3rd to 17th century. Virtually all sagas have been published, and many have been translated. Some are available online. An excellent introduction to the sagas can be found in Margaret Clunies Ross', ''The Cambridge Introduction to the Old Norse-Icelandic Saga'' (Cambridge University Press, 2010). Additional information can be found at ''Wikipedia'', [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagas_of_Icelanders "Sagas of Icelanders"]. | The sagas are stories and histories of persons from the early Viking period and Middle Ages.
