Heimskringla

The Heimskringla was a collection of sagas written by Snorri Sturluson. During the early 16th century, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze bought a copy of this book from a book shop in Constantinople.

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.
