Inherited through the line of the berserker Angantýr and his war-loving daughter Hervor, the ever-lethal, shining sword Tyrfing and its changes of hands frame the uncanny story of The Saga of Hervor and Heidrek. A second heroic saga, Hrólfr Kraki and His Champions, recounts the daring deeds of the members and entourage of the ancient Danish house of Skjoldung.
