The Orkneyinga saga (also called the History of the Earls of Orkney and Jarls' Saga) is a historical narrative of the history of the Orkney and Shetland islands. It was written around in the early thirteenth century (three centuries after some of the earliest events they record) by an unknown Icelandic author who was probably associated with the cultural centre at Oddi.
