Annotation
The stylistic form of the matière de Bretagne and its Norse verse prose adaptations, the Old Norse-Icelandic riddarasǫgur, differ significantly. The first usage of knittelvers in medieval Norse literature appears abruptly with the translation of the Eufemiavisor in the beginning of the fourteenth century. Evidence for the impact of foreign poetry can be found in Old Swedish religious literature and runestones. Established traditions and genuine Nordic innovations of skaldic poetry were influenced by foreign structures such as end-rhyme, henceforth referred to as 'The Big Splash' by Layher, which created the unique literary form of the Eufemiavisor and Hǫfuðlausn.
