Predominantly dealing with Jómsvíkinga saga, Orkneyinga saga and Færeyinga saga, the article notes that there are many links between Egils saga and these three sagas, especially in terms of its “un-Norwegian” attitude and its extensive geographical range. Furthermore, these sagas distinguish between the characteristics of chieftains and retainers in a similar manner. According to Berman, the author of Egils saga has not borrowed this aspect directly from other sagas but has nevertheless taken a similar approach to demonstrate the important role played by Egil and his family in both Norwegian and Icelandic political spheres. Egils saga is also marked by the same types of conflicts and characters as these three sagas. | |||

Annotation
Predominantly dealing with Jómsvíkinga saga, Orkneyinga saga and Færeyinga saga, the article notes that there are many links between Egils saga and these three sagas, especially in terms of its “un-Norwegian” attitude and its extensive geographical range. Furthermore, these sagas distinguish between the characteristics of chieftains and retainers in a similar manner. According to Berman, the author of Egils saga has not borrowed this aspect directly from other sagas but has nevertheless taken a similar approach to demonstrate the important role played by Egil and his family in both Norwegian and Icelandic political spheres. Egils saga is also marked by the same types of conflicts and characters as these three sagas.
