	Berserker (viking)
		However, allies were wary of them as well because berserkers could decide to pillage a friendly village on their own and rape their women.
		Snorri Sturluson mentions berserkers in Egilssaga[?], Hrolf's Saga[?] and Ynglingasaga[?].
		He mentions the unattractive and large head of Egill Skallagrimsson in Egilssaga[?].

	Northvegr - Egil's Saga
		Although, as we have seen, Egil and his comrades were not Christians, the Christian faith is incidentally mentioned as prevailing in England, and towards the end of the Saga we read that Thorstein, Egil's youngest son, became eventually a Christian.
		The date of the writing of Egilssaga is put between 1160 and 1200; probably near to the latter date.
		In Egilssaga the style for Icelandic is pronounced by good authorities to be of the best; the translator can only hope that in its English dress it may not have lost all its attractiveness.

		Several historical sites mentioned in Egilssaga are to be found in the town and its immediate vicinity.
		The Borgarfjörður area features in several Sagas besides Egilssaga, including Bjarnar saga Hítdælakappa, Hænsa-Þóris saga and Gunnlaugs saga Ormstungu.

		Saxo relates, in this respect, 4 how Amlethus (Hamlet) travelled to England accompanied by two retainers, to whom was entrusted a secret letter graven on wood, which, as Saxo remarks, was a kind of writing-material frequently used in olden times.
		In the Egilssaga mentioned above, Egill Skallagrmìsson’s daughter Thorger[char]r is reported to have engraved on the rùnakefli or “runic staff” the beautiful poem Sunatorrek, in which her aged father laments the death of his son, the last of his race.
		These few instances, taken from amongst a great number, prove that runes played an important part in the thoughts and lives of the various Germanic tribes.

	Saga - LoveToKnow 1911
		It was probably written about 1235, but by whom is unknown.
		The aristocratic spirit of the great Icelandic families finds its most characteristic exposition in Egilssaga, a very vigorous tale of adventure, the central figure of which, Egil, is depicted with more psychological subtlety than is usual in the sagas; it probably belongs to about 1230.
		Into Grettissaga there enter biographical and mythical elements, curiously mingled; it is also confused in form, and is probably a recension, made about 1310, of two or more earlier sagas now lost, the finest parts of which it is thought that Sturla may have written.

		For one thing, a Professor Jesse L. Byock has suggested that Egil Skallagrimson, the famous poet and Viking, suffered from a rare bone disease, Paget's Disease, that made his skeleton grow thicker all his life.
		It perfectly explains the Egilssaga´s description of Egil´s unbreakable skull and his other strange features.
		This is a man who can stop an axe with his forehead, he is an actual historical person, and nobody has made him a comic book hero.

	Bookreporter.com - 13 WAYS OF LOOKING AT THE NOVEL by Jane Smiley
		She dislikes Henry James and Leo Tolstoy, and is not a big fan of Ulysses, but always treats their work with respect.
		It's an eccentric list in some ways, including obscure works like the Icelandic saga Egilssaga yet snubbing Ernest Hemingway.
		It ranges from THE TALE OF GENJI, written in Japan in the eleventh century, to novels being published today.

		All test works will be based on the same pre-existing work.
		The most likely candidate at this point is “Egilssaga”, one of the Icelandic Family Sagas.
		The fact that both the Icelandic version as well as its English translation are freely available and extensively studied makes it a good foundation for this particular study.

	Northvegr - A History of the Vikings
		I am assuming here, therefore, that Eric, became earl of York during his father's lifetime, a not impossible adventure to befall this fiery viking prince.
		That he was appointed to this earldom by Æthelstan is vouched for by the Heimskringla, Egilssaga, and Fagrskinna; but this can be contested on the grounds that the Saxon Chronicle and other English sources (notably Simeon of Durham) say nothing of Æthelstan's friendly action towards Eric.
		On the contrary, the Saxon Chronicle does not mention Eric until 948.

		The shavings will have been burnt (that is what Egil - according to the Egilssaga - did).
		The reading is not quite certain, but metrical considerations and deductions from the picture can help.
