Unique among the Icelandic sagas, part-history, part-fiction, the Saga of the J???msvikings tells of a legendary band of vikings, originally Danish, who established an island fortress of the Baltic coast and launched and ultimately lost their heroic attack on the pagan ruler of Norway in the late tenth century.
