		However in Bósa saga ok Herrauds (The saga of Herraud and Bósi), Gautrek's supposed half-brother Hring is a contemporary of King Harald Wartooth.

	Saga
		In medieval Iceland the literary term saga denoted any kind of story or history in prose, irrespective of the kind or nature of the narrative or the purposes for which it was written.
		In a stricter sense, however, the term saga is confined to legendary and historical fictions, in which the author has attempted an imaginative reconstruction of the past and organized the subject matter according to certain aesthetic principles.
		Closely related to the lives of the kings of Norway are Foereyinga saga, describing the resistance of Faeroese leaders to Norwegian interference during the first part of the 11th century, and Orkneyinga saga, dealing with the rulers of the earldom of Orkney from about 900 to the end of the 12th century.

		Perhaps the single most apparent component of the sagas' collective presentation of instruction in witchcraft is the degree to which "otherness" plays a vital role: overwhelmingly, it is women who teach, or offer to teach, galdr.
		William of Auvergne (Bishop of Paris 1228-49) or a similarly youthful Jón Halldórsson studying in Paris (Bishop of Skálholt 1322-39), (34) or literary creatures such as the Nectanabus of Konung Alexander or the Merlin of Gunnlaugr Leifsson's Merlínuspá- require a period of apprenticeship seem to be widely accepted in the western tradition.
		Thus, one of the things that particularly distinguishes the sagas from most other medieval sources is their treatment of this topic, i.e., their willingness as a group to treat magic, especially malevolent "low" magic, as something other than an issue mainly tied to the pact with the Devil.

		The 'classical' canon itself, with its corollary of 'post-classical' decline, is an artificial construct based upon evolutionary assumptions and the supposed thirteenth-century composition of all 'classical' sagas.
		The sagas ceased to be valued for their literal historical accuracy, and the creative genius of their authors was extolled.
		This kind of attitude to the past may be less fraught with novelistic pathos than Laxdæla saga, but it is extremely skilful and entertaining, and deserves close attention.

		One example is “Bósa saga”, which contains parallels; almost identical with the storyline of the Finnish lay.
		The parallels between the theft of the Sampo and the Fornaldar-sagas, may just as well be caused by cultural influence from Finnish to Norse culture, as the other way around, especially when we take into consideration that the structure in the various Sampo lays seems to be very old.
		Denne sidste del, som omhandler tyveriet af Sampo, siges af finske kilder, at være et literært lån fra de norrøne middelalder sagaer, fornaldarsøgur.
