The Heimskringla is a collection of sagas presumed to have been written by Snorri Sturluson.[1] During the early 16th century, the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore bought a copy of this book from a book shop in Constantinople.[2]
Summary
A thirteenth-century Old Norse saga composed by Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturlson. Though told with a richness and energy that gives its tales a level of realism unusual for the time, most scholars believe that most of the "Heimskringla" is built on a foundation of well-intended but ultimately invented speculation.
Behind the scenes
While saga's flavor text in Assassin's Creed: Revelations attributes the work to Snorri Sturluson, the actual authorship is unknown, with Snorri just being many modern scholars' most likely candidate.
