| Description: | This is the story of the famous Norseman, Harald the Stern (Hardrada), between the years 1034 and 1044, which he spent in Constantinople—or Byzantium, or Miklagard—as captain of the Greek Emperor’s guard.
The framework on which this story is built is the Heims Kringla or Sagas of the Norse Kings, written between 1223 and 1235 by an Icelandic chieftain-poet named Snorri Sturluson, himself a descendant of that Wulf who plays such a large part in this book.—from the Introduction.
