		In Flóamanna Saga (XIII) the body of a dead woman who had been a witch in her time proves restless on the way to burial, until when the bearers are unable to carry her any farther they build a pyre and burn the remains on the spot.
		In the same saga a district in Greenland was haunted by a number of people who had died from a mysterious plague, and Þorgils, although a Christian, resorted to the usual remedy and had the corpses dug up and burned—’and from that time there was no harm done by their walking’ (XXII).
		Throughout the sagas it is made clear that an important way of paying honour to the dead was to hold a funeral feast in his memory; and this was important for the living as well as for the dead, since it was at the feast that the son took over the inheritance of his father.

		Of this Dan, Snorri relates only an anecdote that when Dan was twelve years old, tired of the arrogance of Saxon embassadors who demanded tribute on pain of war, bridged the river Elbe with ships, crossed over, and won a great victory.
		This Dan is father of Fridlef father of Frothi, in whom one recognizes Fridleif and his son Fródi mentioned often in Norse sources, the latter being, at least by parentage, the Peace-Fródi whom Snorri introduced in the early in the Ynglinga saga.

		This saga of St. Olaf (Ólafs saga helga) was written first and the rest of the chronicle built around it.
		Broadly speaking, the kings' sagas fall into two distinct groups: contemporary (or near contemporary) biographies and histories of remoter periods.
		The word saga is derived from the Old Norse verb meaning “to say” or “to tell.” A traditional form of household entertainment in medieval Iceland was reading stories aloud.
