Icelandic annals

Icelandic annals are chronological manuscript records of events mainly of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in and around Iceland,[1] though some, like the Oddverjaannáll and the Lögmannsannáll reach the fifteenth century, and the Gottskálks annáll even reaches the seventeenth.[2]

  • Flateyjarannáll (ca. 1387–1395)
