About this book

Thomas Carlyle sketches the kings of Norway from Harald Haarfagr, who united the country into one kingdom, down to Hakon the Old, in sixteen chapters including an epilogue. He builds on the Icelandic sagas, on Snorro Sturleson's history of the Norse kings and on the German professor Dahlmann, and calls the result rough notes. Chapters follow Eric Blood-Axe, Olaf Tryggveson, Olaf the Saint, Magnus Barefoot and Sverrir. Carlyle also points to the threads linking English and Norse affairs. The text comes from volume 19 of the Sterling Edition.
