"Sturla Þórðarson is one of only a handful of thirteenth-century Icelandic historians
to be known by name, and he is certainly one of the most significant. A number of
works may be traced directly to his literary-cultural circle, notably Landnámabók
(The Book of Settlements), Íslendinga saga (The saga of Icelanders) and Hákonar
saga Hákonarsonar (The Saga of King Hákon). Moreover, it is thought that Sturla
was involved in the production of the legal text known as Járnsíða, as well as annals
and, possibly, some of the Íslendingasögur (Sagas of Icelanders). In addition to
his role as author and compiler, Sturla Þórðarson was in his day one of the most powerful
men in Iceland. In 1262, he visited the court of King Magnús Hákonarson ('the Law-mender')
in Norway as a court poet, later becoming his liegeman, and it was for King Magnús
that Sturla wrote the sagas of King Hákon and King Magnús. Sturla served as lawman
of all Iceland 1272-77, and then as lawman for the north and west of the country until
1282. He died on 30 July 1284. Contributors are Ann-Marie Long, Ármann Jakobsson,
