Heimskringla is the Old Norse name of a collection of kings' sagas recorded in Iceland around 1225 by the poet and historian Snorri Sturluson (1179 – 1242). The collection contains tales about the Norwegian kings, beginning with the legendary Swedish dynasty of the House of Ynglings, followed by accounts of more historical Norwegian rulers of the 10th to 12th centuries, up to the death of Eystein Meyla in 1177.
