    		It is closely connected with the Heimskringla, Snorri Sturluson's work on the Norwegian kings. Like Snorri, the author makes frequent use of skaldic poetry as documentary sources. There are good reasons to assume that the author was Ólafr Þórðarson (d. 1259), who was Snorri's nephew. Ólafr stayed with the Danish ruler Valdemar II of Denmark in 1240–1241, and Valdemar provided the saga's author with a great deal of information and outstanding accounts.
