History

The Book Vinland Sagas is written as two separate documents Graenlendinga (Greenland) Saga and Eirik's (Erik) Saga. Magnus Magnusson purpose of writing this book was to inform his readers of the only history about the Norse settlement in Greenland and Vinland. The book is a short one with two stories and straight to the point. It started off with Erik the Red father dying and those who descended from Erik the Red.

Erik the Red and many of his men traveled and discovered many lands in Vinland, also known as North America, that they did not set foot in. These same lands were explored
