[Regia-NA] "Viking Age" Norwegian Saexs

[Schuster, Robert L.]

ah, but when is Grettir's saga dated too, Bill?  (a quick net search =
doesn't return much that is useful in dating it)

with all its parallels to Beowulf I always assumed it was Vendel age-ish

not to seem ungrateful for the info (cause I always am grateful when you =
all help me) but I am mostly looking for hard evidence, i.e. extant =
examples.
