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 Assassin's Creed: Revelations' in game flavor text for the saga attribute it to Snorri Sturluson the actual authorship is unknown with Snorri just being the best guess of many modern scholars.
