Following mild injury and outlawry resulting from a conflict with Steinthor of Eyr, Snorri Þorbrandsson travelled to Greenland with his brother Þorleifr Kimbi and perished in battle against the skrælings, Inuit indigenous people, during Karlsefni's trip to Vinland.

* Snorri Þorbrandsson, a character in the Icelandic Eyrbyggja saga

Snorri was named for his great-grandfather, Snorri Þórðarson ( sometimes mentioned as Þorbrandsson ).

Arnkel finally engages in a physical dispute with Snorri and the Thorbrandssons ( Þorbrandsson ), Snorri's foster brothers.

Snorri further writes that Asgard is a land more fertile than any other, blessed also with a great abundance of gold and jewels.

Snorri quips: " There is a huge crowd there, and there will be many more still ...." ( Section 39 ).

In the initial stanzas of the poem Asagarth is the capital of Asaland, a section of Asia to the east of the Tana-kvísl or Vana-Kvísl river ( kvísl is " fork "), which Snorri explains is the Tanais, or Don River, flowing into the Black Sea.

It is unclear what people Snorri thinks the Vanes are, whether the proto-Slavic Venedi or the east Germanic Vandals, who had been in that region at that time for well over 1000 years.

Troy cannot have been Asagarth, Snorri realizes, the reason being that the Æsir in Asaland were unsettled by the military activities of the Romans ; that is, of the Byzantine Empire.

Snorri says at first it is Valhalla and then adds: " The Swedes now believed that he had gone to the old Asagarth and would live there forever " ( Section 9 ).

Both Fundinn Noregr and Snorri Sturluson in Skáldskaparmál state that Ægir is the same as the sea-giant Hlér, who lives on the isle of Hlésey, and this is borne out by kennings.

The bridge is attested as Bilröst in the Poetic Edda ; compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and as Bifröst in the Prose Edda ; written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, and in the poetry of skalds.

According to Gylfaginning, a book of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Baldr's wife is Nanna and their son is Forseti.

In Gylfaginning, Snorri relates that Baldr had the greatest ship ever built, named Hringhorni, and that there is no place more beautiful than his hall, Breidablik.

It is briefly described in Snorri Sturluson's Gylfaginning as one of the halls of Asgard:

Snorri Sturluson quoted this old poem in Skáldskaparmál, saying that because of this legend Heimdall is called " Seeker of Freyja's Necklace " ( Skáldskaparmál, section 8 ) and Loki is called " Thief of Brísingamen " ( Skáldskaparmál, section 16 ).

The first part of Snorri Sturluson's Skáldskaparmál is a dialogue between Ægir and Bragi about the nature of poetry, particularly skaldic poetry.

" A third, proposed in 1895 by Eiríkr Magnússon, but since discredited, is that it derives from the Icelandic place name Oddi, site of the church and school where students, including Snorri Sturluson, were educated.

The derivation of the word " Edda " as the name of Snorri Sturluson ’ s treatise on poetry from the Latin " edo ", " I compose ( poetry )" by analogy with " kredda ", " superstition " from Latin " credo ", " creed " is now widely accepted.

Fenrir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda and Heimskringla, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson.

In reference to Fenrir's presentation in the Prose Edda, Andy Orchard theorizes that " the hound ( or wolf )" Garmr, Sköll, and Hati Hróðvitnisson were originally simply all Fenrir, stating that " Snorri, characteristically, is careful to make distinctions, naming the wolves who devour the sun and moon as Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson respectively, and describing an encounter between Garm and Týr ( who, one would have thought, might like to get his hand on Fenrir ) at Ragnarök.

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.

The problem is that in Old Norse mær means both " daughter " and " wife ," so it is not fully clear if Fjörgynn is Frigg's father or another name for her husband Odin, but Snorri Sturluson interprets the line as meaning Frigg is Fjörgynn's daughter ( Skáldskaparmál 27 ), and most modern translators of the Poetic Edda follow Snorri.

Although he has his own saga in Heimskringla, it lacks any skaldic verse, which is normally used by Snorri as supporting evidence and this, combined with its rather legendary character, leads historians to be wary of seeing much veracity in it.

* In EE Ryan's novella, The Odd Saga of the American and a Curious Icelandic Flock, the character Snorri warns of the dangers of Brennivín, but later becomes intoxicated on it.

The most central character is Snorri Þorgrímsson, referred to as Snorri goði and Snorri the Priest.

The author tends to favor Snorri Goði over any other character in the Saga.

His son Snorri Thorfinnsson was the first American born ( somewhere between 1010 and 1013 ) to European ( Icelandic ) immigrant parents.

The primary sources regarding Asgard come from the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Icelandic Snorri Sturluson, and the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from a basis of much older Skaldic poetry.

The Icelandic mythographer and historian Snorri Sturluson referred to dwarves ( dvergar ) as " dark-elves " ( dökkálfar ) or " black-elves " ( svartálfar ).

It was written by the Icelandic scholar and historian Snorri Sturluson around 1220.

The word was adopted into English in the nineteenth century from medieval Icelandic treatises on poetics, in particular the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson, and derives ultimately from the Old Norse verb kenna “ know, recognise ; perceive, feel ; show ; teach ; etc .”, as used in the expression kenna við “ to name after ; to express thing in terms of ”, “ name after ; refer to in terms of ”, and kenna til “ qualify by, make into a kenning by adding ”.

The latter contains pagan poetry where the norns are frequently referred to, while the former contains, in addition to pagan poetry, retellings, descriptions and commentaries by the 12th and 13th century Icelandic chieftain and scholar Snorri Sturluson.

A story told by the thirteenth-century Icelandic mythographer Snorri Sturluson in his Prose Edda about the origin of Lake Mälaren was probably originally about Lake Vänern: the Swedish king Gylfi promised a woman, Gefjun, as much land as four oxen could plough in a day and a night, but she used oxen from the land of the giants, and moreover uprooted the land and dragged it into the sea, where it became the island of Zealand.

Scholars disagree about the various, too often contradictory, accounts of his life given in sources from his era of history, such as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Adam of Bremen's Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum, and the Heimskringla, a 13th-century work by Icelandic author Snorri Sturluson.

* Snorri Sturluson, Icelandic saga writer, is murdered by Gissur Þorvaldsson, an emissary of King Haakon IV of Norway.

The Icelandic sources, in particular Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla, state that Sigurd, like Olaf's father, was a great-grandson of King Harald Fairhair in the male line.

These include the late 12th-century Norwegian synoptics – Historia Norwegiæ ( perhaps c. 1170 ), Theodoricus monachus ' Historia de antiquitate regum Norwagiensium ( c. 1180 ) and Ágrip af Nóregskonungasögum ( c. 1190 ) – and the later Icelandic kings ' sagas Orkneyinga saga ( c. 1200 ), Fagrskinna ( c. 1225 ), the Heimskringla ascribed to Snorri Sturluson ( c. 1230 ), Egils saga ( 1220 x 1240 ) and Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar en mesta ( c. 1300 ).

According to Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla, he was named Magnus ( Magnús in Old Norse ) by Sigvatr Þórðarson, his father's Icelandic skald, after Charlemagne, Carolus Magnus in Latin.

The section is composed by the Icelandic poet, politician, and historian Snorri Sturluson.

The Háttatal ( c. 20, 000 words ) is the last section of the Prose Edda composed by the Icelandic poet, politician, and historian Snorri Sturluson.

Commissioned by his son Magnus, it was written by the Icelandic writer and politician Sturla Þórðarson ( nephew of the famous historian Snorri Sturluson ).

It can already be found in the form Eikundarsund in the Norse saga of Olav the Holy, written by Icelandic author Snorri Sturlasson in the 13th century.

The Icelandic historian and poet Snorri Sturluson ( 1179 – 1241 ) wrote the following description of berserkers in his Ynglinga saga:

For example, according to the Norwegian Historia Norwegiae and the Icelandic historian Snorri Sturlusson, a 7th-century king called Ingjald illråde burnt a number of subordinate kings to death inside his hall, thus abolishing the petty kingdoms in the consolidation of Sweden.

This tradition was also known by the Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson, who, however had Odin reside in nearby Fornsigtuna, whereas the god Freyr lived in Gamla Uppsala.

Ynglinga saga is a legendary saga, originally written in Old Norse by the Icelandic poet Snorri Sturluson about 1225.
