Saga of Erik the Red
The Vinland Sagas are two Icelandic texts written independently of each other in the early 13th century—"The Saga of the Greenlanders" ("Grænlendinga Saga") and "The Saga of Erik the Red", ("Eiríks Saga Rauða"). The sagas were written down between 1220 and 1280, much later than the initial time of action 970–1030.
