Abstract

This chapter, at 38 pages the extended version of a paper delivered by the author in a Munich symposium on the historian Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241), argues for the first time that Snorri his both versions of his prologue to Heimskringla (a collection of Norwegian kings' lives) justified his use of a potentially risky (because comic) genealogical poem, Ynglingatal, as the historical base for Ynglinga saga (the first in the collection), not with his own words, but with those of Ari Þorgilsson (1067-1148), who made a similar (mis)use of Ynglingatal in work now lost.
