Af Upplendinga konungum

Af Upplendinga konunum is a short tale of the Norwegian part of the so-called Yngling. The saga consists of two short chapters in just over one book page, and is reproduced in Hauksbók. Af Upplendinga konunum does not exist in other manuscripts. The author is unknown, but he probably had a common source with Snorri Sturluson. Af Upplendinga konunum appears to be a simplified and shortened version of Snorri's far more famous Ynglinga Saga, but one does not think Snorri is the source for the author of About Uplanders kings . Rather, it seems that the Af Upplendinga konunum is somewhat older than Snorri's Ynglinga Saga.
