Vinland sagas

Encyclopedia : V : VI : VIN : Vinland sagas

The Vinland Sagas are two Icelandic documents: The Saga of the Greenlanders and The Saga of Eric the Red. The Vinland Sagas represent the most complete information we have about the Norse settlements in Greenland and Vinland. They still were not written until at least 200 years after the original voyages and their accounts of them are contradictory. Historians believe they contain a kernel of historical truth.
