In this special Saga Brief, we visit historic Reykholt, once home to Snorri Sturluson, for a fascinating conversation with Sigrún Guttormsdóttir Þormar, department manager at Snorrastofa. This interview is the second installment in our four-part series recorded on-site during our recent trip to Iceland. Sigrún generously met with us on a Saturday to talk about Snorri's life, legacy, and the important work being done at Snorrastofa to continue the long tradition of learning at Reykholt on the site. Along the way, she shared insights into Snorri's role as a chieftain, writer, and political figure in 13th-century Iceland, offering a more nuanced portrait of the man we often call “infamous.” If you're planning a trip to Iceland, we can't recommend a stop in Reykholt highly enough. In addition to its rich history, the Snorrastofa cultural and medieval studies center offers an engaging exhibition on Snorri's life, an inviting research library, and an exceptional gift shop. For more about Snorrastofa, including visitor info, exhibitions, and ongoing research, visit: https://snorrastofa.is Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think about Snorri's legacy after hearing from someone who engages with it every day.

Saga Thing returns once again to the tales of Icelanders from the sagas of Norwegian kings with a surprise double feature of tales involving Halldór Snorrason, the son of Snorri goði and longtime companion of King Harald "harðráða" Sigurdsson. We open with The Tale of the Story-wise Icelander [Íslendings þáttr sögufróða], a fun little story about an Icelander who makes a name for himself telling tales and sagas in the court of an older King Harald. But how will the notoriously grumpy king react when the Icelander begins telling the saga of Harald's own adventures as a member of the Varangian Guard in Constantinople? And where might an Icelander who's never met King Harald have learned so many detailed stories about the king's life? But that little þáttr is just an appetizer. The real meal here is The First Tale of Halldór Snorrason [Halldórs þáttr Snorrasonar]. Set during the early years of King Harald's reign in Norway, this tale shows what happens when Halldór steps in to defend an Icelander from Harald's wrath. Then things get real messy when Halldór has a run in with a kinsman of the powerful chieftain Einar Paunch-Shaker [þambarskelfir]. It's a real "out of the frying pan and into the fire" kind of story for Halldór in this one. How will Halldór manage to get out of this mess? Along the way, we talk about the life of Halldór and some of his more noteworthy descendants. We also spend some time discussing his place in the various sagas of King Harald Sigurdsson. If you want to read the infamous Snorri Sturluson's version, which includes several episodes featuring his great-great-great-grandfather Halldór Snorrason, you'll want to pick up a copy of the Heimskringla or the stand-alone Penguin edition King Harald's Saga. We'll be back soon with The Second Tale of Halldór Snorrason where his relationship with King Harald is once again tested.

La mythologie nordique est un système aussi élaboré que celle imaginée par l'Antiquité gréco-romaine. Les dieux qui la peuplent, qu'il s'agisse d'Odin, la divinité centrale de ce panthéon, ou de Thor, le puissant dieu du tonnerre, sont ceux des vikings. Et ils nourriront les mythes les plus emblématiques de la culture germanique.Cette mythologie est surtout connue grâce à un texte essentiel, l'"Edda de Snorri", abrégé le plus souvent en "Edda". Ce livre fondateur a été écrit, au XIIIe siècle, par Snorri Sturluson, un poète islandais qui s'engage aussi dans la vie politique de son pays.Rédigée en vieil islandais, cette œuvre, qui comprend plusieurs parties, a joué un rôle essentiel dans la découverte plus tardive de la mythologie germanique, à partir du XVIIIe siècle. Elle se présente aussi comme une sorte de manuel de poésie islandaise et raconte également l'histoire d'un Roi de Norvège et de son fils.Mais l'Edda, qui demeure la principale source de nos connaissances sur ces mythes nordiques, fut contestée, dès la fin du XIXe siècle, par des historiens et des érudits.Ils estiment que son auteur ne pouvait pas vraiment connaître des mythes qui furent élaborés plusieurs siècles avant son époque. Par ailleurs, son récit serait une version christianisée de ces mythes, qui ne correspondraient pas aux légendes véhiculées par les vikings.Autrement dit, Snorri Sturluson est accusé par ces savants d'être un affabulateur. Ses histoires prouveraient surtout son talent d'écrivain, dont la vive imagination se plaisait à inventer des fantaisies peu en rapport avec la mythologie des vikings.Nombre de spécialistes doutent d'ailleurs que Sturluson ait pu recueillir des traditions orales remontant à plusieurs siècles. Comme toujours en pareil cas, il est peu probable qu'elles aient pu se transmettre durant une aussi longue période. Au mieux, l'auteur de l'Edda n'aurait eu connaissance que d'une version très déformée des mythes d'origine.De nombreux spécialistes pensent plutôt qu'il s'agit largement d'une œuvre d'imagination, qui s'inscrit dans l'un des grands courants littéraires de son époque, le roman courtois.

In this episode, Shawn discusses the character of Halvdan the Black as described in Snorri Sturluson's work, Heimskringla. Halvdan was a great king in his own right; however, this portion of Heimskringla also serves to describe the marriage to a woman named Ragnhild, and the resulting greatness of their family line, starting with their son Harald Fairhair, the supposed first king of a unified Norway. Through the texts (along with "The Saga of the Volsungs") you can build out a line of Harald's ancestors that show he is descended from 2 gods. Freyr through his father, and Odin through his mother. Though if Halvdan and Ragnhild did exist, these links to gods surely to make for a great story to highlight the greatness of the future Norwegian Kings (which is arguably why Snorri wrote about them in the first place); however, the "historicalness" of these claims are obviously non-existent. However, We DO know that the kingdom of Norway exists, and still exists to this day with King Harald V, so at what point to we say we know an ancestor of his existed or didn't?

In this episode I take a dive into the life of the creator of parts of the Nordic story-world, Snorri Sturluson. We'll look at his life, his intentions, his interests, and some of the things he did that changed the Nordic story-world forever. I consider Snorri the last elder of the Nordic story-world. He was the last elder for good and for bad. He was one of the last few who carried so much knowledge of the Nordic story-world in his head and could work with it creatively. He also belonged to that last generation of Icelanders who kept the flame alive. But as much as we can thank him for writing down some of the Nordic story-world, so that we would have it today, he was also of that generation of Icelanders who had lost their way and stopped caring about the future of their children as much as their own wealth and fame. He belonged to that generation of Icelanders who left tradition behind to join the Norwegian kingdom and a new world order. The result was devastating to Icelandic culture, the new generations, and the Nordic story-world. It was a loss of intergenerational care, intergenerational storytelling, and continuity. It was a cultural Ragnarok for Iceland. Today, we're faced with a similar cultural Ragnarok as the bonds between generations are failing. We are also faced with a climate catastrophe Ragnarok for those same reasons.

Snorri Sturluson, the great Icelandic poet and historian and lawspeaker of the Althing, got involved in Norwegian/Icelandic politics, and it ended very badly. For him, for one thing, as the king of Norway arranged for 70 men to stab Snorri in his basement, and for Iceland, which devolved into chieftain battles and eventually unified with Norway and the Norwegian king became the boss of everything. The Althing still exists, though, and Iceland is independent now, and Snorri is one of the most influential poets of the early middle ages. We explain all this. Anne still wonders why you need 70 people to stab somebody in his basement, and Michelle is shocked, shocked, I tell you, that there isn't any historical fiction about all this, though she is slightly mollified by the fact that there is now a Snorri ap, for Android and IOS.
