Historia Norwegiae - Definition and Overview

Historia Norvegiæ is a short history of the Norwegian past written by a monk in the second half of the 12th century. It is mostly based on Tjodolf of Hvin's Ynglingatal. The manuscript is from the 15th century.

The text is very important because it constitutes an independent version of Ynglingatal besides the Ynglinga saga in the Heimskringla.
