Jómsvíkinga saga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jómsvíkinga saga relates of the founding of Jomsborg by Palnatoke, and of the famous Viking brotherhood of the Jomsvikings.

It also relates of their defeat at the Battle of Hjörungavágr in 986, when Sigvald Jarl brought the Jomsvikings to Norway to depose Haakon Jarl.
