 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Saga of Fridthjof the Bold (Old Norse: Friðþjófs saga hins frœkna) is a medieval Icelandic romance, written by an anonymous author probably around 1300 AD.In the kingdom of Sogn in Norway, the great warrior Thorstein is friends with King Beli of Sogn. And so it is no wonder that Beli's daughter Ingibjörg and Thorstein's son Fridthjof grow up to love each other. But when King Beli has died and Fridthjof asks Ingibjörg in marriage from her brothers, the new kings Helgi and Halfdan, the brothers tell him that Ingibjörg is too good for him, seeing as he has no royal pedigree.King Hring of Hringerike challenges the kings of Sogn to battle. Fridthjof declines to support the kings, which forces them to submit to Hring. In exchange for peace, Hring demands and receives Ingibjörg in marriage. The kings take revenge on Fridthjof by banishing him from the kingdom.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Fridthjof becomes wealthy and famous as a viking, but after four years of raiding, Fridthjof feels he must see Ingibjörg again. He dons a disguise and sets out for King Hring's hall.A free translation of Fridthjof's Saga by William Morris and Eiríkr Magnússon (1875) is available here.

 Death of the Hypotenuse: Ingibjörg and Fridthjof love each other, but Ingibjörg's brothers despise Fridthjof because he is not of royal rank, and instead force her to marry King Hring, who is old but actually a fine guy. As Fridthjof cannot bring himself to act against Hring, he offers to go away and never see Ingibjörg again, but Hring stops him and reveals that he has a deadly illness and knows he will die soon. He makes Fridthjof his jarl and successor, and at Hring's funeral Fridthjof marries Ingibjorg in accordance with Hring's own wish.

 Cool Boat: Ellidi, the ship Fridthjof inherits from his father, goes very fast and is "the best ship in the ocean" and "the best [ship] that has ever been in the Northlands". In part thanks to Ellidi's excellence, Fridthjof and his companions survive a magical storm on their voyage to Orkney.
