Fóstbroeðra saga (The Saga of the Sworn Brothers) is a medieval Icelandic saga. Preserved in manuscripts from the 14th and 15th centuries, it recounts the adventures and exploits of orgeirr Hávarsson and ormóðr Kolbrúnarskáld, two sworn brothers, Vikings, and poets living in the late 10th and early 11th centuries.
The saga is known for its complex characterizations, vivid descriptions of Viking Age society, and exploration of themes such as loyalty, friendship, revenge, and the clash between paganism and Christianity. Konráð GÃslason's edition offers readers access to one of the most compelling and enduring works of Old Norse literature.
