Hrólfs saga Kraka relates the adventures of Hrólfr Kraki, a semi-legendary king in what is now Denmark, and his clan, the Skjöldungs. The events can be dated to the late 5th century and the 6th century. A precursor text may have dated to the 13th century, but the saga in the form that survived to this day dates to c. 1400
Grettir’s Saga is considered one of the Sagas of Icelanders (Íslendingasögur), which were written down in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and record stories of events that supposedly took place between the ninth and the eleventh centuries in Iceland.[1] The earliest manuscript of Grettis saga was written down some time just before 1400 AD, and the saga is thought to have been composed in its current form in the fourteenth century, making it a relatively late addition to the genre.[1]
