A similar story appears in the later Sörla þáttr, where Heimdall does not appear.

Sörla þáttr is a short story in the later and extended version of the Saga of Olaf Tryggvason in the manuscript of the Flateyjarbók, which was written and compiled by two Christian priests, Jon Thordson and Magnus Thorhalson, in the late 14th century.

Freyja is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources ; in the Prose Edda and Heimskringla, both written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century ; in several Sagas of Icelanders ; in the short story Sörla þáttr ; in the poetry of skalds ; and into the modern age in Scandinavian folklore, as well as the name for Friday in many Germanic languages.

Göndul is attested in Heimskringla, Sörla þáttr, and a 14th century Norwegian charm.

In Sörla þáttr, a short late 14th century narrative from a later and extended version of the Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar found in the Flateyjarbók manuscript, a figure by the name of Göndul appears and instigates the meeting of the kings Hedinn of Serkland and Hogni of Denmark and, by means of seduction and a memory-altering drought, provokes a war between the two.

In the Sörla þáttr, an Icelandic short story written by two Christian Priests in 15th century, Dvalin is the name of one of the four dwarves ( including Alfrigg, Berling and Grer ) who fashioned a necklace which was later acquired by a woman called Freyja, who is King Odin's concubine, after she agreed to spend a night with each of them.

Nál means " needle "; according to Sörla þáttr, Laufey was also called this because she was " both slender and weak ".

Several sagas mention Serkland: Ynglinga saga, Sörla saga sterka, Sörla þáttr, Saga Sigurðar Jórsalafara and Hjálmþés saga ok Ölvis.

In Þiðranda þáttr ok Þórhalls, the youth Þiðrandi is killed by dísir dressed in black, riding black horses, while a troop of dísir dressed in white and riding white horses are unable to save him.

The other two relate to the saga literature ; the first is a retelling of Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa ( alluded to in Eyrbyggja Saga and Heimskringla ), while the second is a direct translation from Egil's saga, supplemented with extensive notes, some which explain Eddison's aesthetic and philosophical outlook.

Another example is in Ölkofra þáttr, where the chieftain Broddi, who lives in Vopnafjörður, returns home from Alþingi by taking the Kjölur route north and then going east along the northern shore of the island-a much longer road home than one through Sprengisandur, yet one going largely through inhabited regions.

In c. 750, according to Norna-Gests þáttr from c. 1157, the king of Denmark and Sweden, Sigurd Ring, fought against the invading Curonians and Kvens in the southern part of what today is Sweden:

In Norna-Gests þáttr, it is said that Sigurd Hring was very old when Sigurd's sons-in-law, the sons of Gandalf, asked him to help them fight against Sigurd Fafnisbani and the Gjukungs.

It is believed that there once was a full saga about Styrbjörn, but most of what is extant is found in the short Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa.

The extant poetry on Styrbjörn is found in Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa, where the following lausavísa of c. 985 mentions Styrbjörn ::

He is a major character in the saga Ragnarssona þáttr ( The Tale of Ragnar's sons ).

It is also related in the Þiðrekssaga af Bern ( Velents þáttr smiðs ) and it is alluded to in the Old English poem The Lament of Deor.

Þorgnýr the Lawspeaker ( Old Icelandic: Þorgnýr lögmaðr, Swedish: Torgny Lagman ) is the name of one of at least three generations of lawspeakers by the name Þorgnýr, who appear in the Heimskringla by the Icelandic scholar and chieftain Snorri Sturluson, and in the less known Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa and Hróa þáttr heimska.

In Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa about Styrbjörn Starke, appears a Þorgnýr the Lawspeaker who is probably the father of the previously mentioned Þorgnýr.

Additionally, the manuscript contains the only copy of the eddic poem Hyndluljóð, a unique set of annals from creation to 1394, and many short tales not otherwise preserved such as Nornagests þáttr (" the Story of Norna Gest ").

The same ritual also appears in the Icelandic short story Völsa þáttr where two pagan Norwegian men lift the lady of the household over a door frame to help her look into the otherworld.

Hróa þáttr heimska or the Tale of Roi the Fool is a short story ( þáttr ) from Iceland about a Dane called Hrói the Fool who is helped in a legal dispute by the wise old Swede Þorgnýr the Lawspeaker, and which takes place in the late 10th century.

Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa ( The Tale of Styrbjörn the Swedish Champion ) is a short story, a þáttr on the Swedish claimant and Jomsviking Styrbjörn the Strong preserved in the Flatey Book ( GKS 1005 fol 342-344, ca 1387-1395 ).

Vǫlsa þáttr is a short story which is only extant in the Flatey Book, where it is found in a chapter of Óláfs saga helga.

Eymundar þáttr hrings is a short Norse saga, which is preserved in two versions.

The þættir ( Old Norse singular þáttr, literally meaning a " strand " of rope or yarn ) are short stories written mostly in Iceland during the 13th and 14th centuries.

It is mentioned in a number of medieval sources, such as Eyrbyggja saga, Knýtlinga saga, Hervarar saga and Saxo Grammaticus ' Gesta Danorum ( Book 10 ), but the most detailed account is found in the short story Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa.

Meleager's story has similarities with the Scandinavian Norna-Gests þáttr.

The story of Norna-Gest is narrated in Nornagests þáttr, which was written about the year 1300.

Norna-Gests þáttr has a brief mention about the king of both Denmark and Sweden, Sigurd Ring ( ruling in the mid-8th century ), fighting against invading Curonians and Kvens:

Norna-Gests þáttr or the Story of Norna-Gest is a legendary saga about the Norse hero Norna-Gest.

The main difference between the two versions is that in Eymundar þáttr hrings, the hero is a Norwegian, whereas Yngvars saga víðförla describes him as a Swede.

Like spirits, the elves were not bound by physical limitations and could pass through walls and doors in the manner of ghosts, which happens in Norna-Gests þáttr.

* Text and English translation by Loptsson of Eireks þáttr rauða (' Tale of Eirík the Red ') and Grœnlendinga þáttir (' Tale of the Greenlanders ') from the Flatey Book.

Hvitserk ( Whiteshirt ) was one of the legendary sons of the 9th-century Norse king Ragnar Lodbrok and his wife Kraka, attested to by the Ragnarssona þáttr.

Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa and Eyrbyggja saga agree with all previously mentioned versions by making Styrbjörn take command of the Jomsvikings after they already had been established.

Gesta Danorum ( book 10 ), Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa and Eyrbyggja saga relate that in the early 980s, the exiled Swedish prince Styrbjörn the Strong brought the Jomsvikings to a devastating defeat against Styrbjörn's uncle Eric the Victorious at the Battle of the Fýrisvellir, Uppsala, in 984 or 985, while trying to take the crown of Sweden by force of arms.
