May I ask why the first three chapters always have been seen as a non-trueish text?
You know, thorsmonth and goimonth are neither Swedish nor Norwegian. It's torsmånad and göjemånad in Swedish and probably something similar in Norwegian. Bo Lindbergh 08:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
I believe the link for Ragnvald, Earl of Moer, goes to the wrong article. There are two historical Ragnvald, better check these. Finn Bjo

It would be good to know something about our sources for the saga. Are there multiple manuscripts, where are they, how different are they, how well preserved are they, what language are they written in? Mhkay ( talk) 08:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

I am happy to review this article. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 06:55, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
A very pleasant and interesting read. Well developed and with a good balance between summary of the narrative and scholarly opinion. I think this will be an easy pass. I will have to do some spotchecks of some of the sources, to make sure they are represented correctly and that there is no close paraphrasing, but I assume there is no such issues. I have fixed some of the references that named Sturluson as sturlson, I made some minor wording changes, I also changed the name of Rögnvalds son whom I am pretty sure is Hrollaug and not Hrolluag. The reference number 16 should presumably to Crawford 2003 and not 2013, since there is no "Crawford 2013" in the literature list. Could we put ref 27, Knut Helle, into the literature list so it doesn't stand out as the only long ref in the reference section?
Many thanks for the review. As you can see I made rather a mess of doing the Crawford fix. In fact, one reference from 2013 was missing so thanks for drawing my attention to that. The Helle ref is also fixed (I think - Template:Citation is a little inflexible in cases like this.) You are of course correct about the spelling of 'Hrollaug'. Ben Mac Dui 16:26, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello, the link provided for the Old Norse version doesn't work on my computer, is there a different site it can be found on? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.3.2.153 ( talk) 19:56, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
