Infos

Tiel's Saga pieces together fragmented stories about the mysterious Viking prince, the son of a Norwegian king, for whom Loch Pooltiel is named on the Isle of Skye. Through meticulous research of family dynasties, ancient manuscripts, historical narratives, folktale variants, interviews, and correspondence, the author has written the most complete tale to date of the mysterious Tiel Hakonsson.

For seven centuries, Vikings raided and settled the coast of Scotland and the Hebrides Islands. During that time, the Norsemen and Gaels formed a unique culture as they intermarried and shared belief systems, folklore, and traditions. In this groundbreaking work, the author looks at five pieces of Scottish folklore and illuminates the influence of Norse myths in each. In Tiel's Saga and four additional tales, the book reveals the crossovers in mythology. Each tale is accompanied by end notes that go beyond mere citations, but which describe the sources and variations uncovered in author's research. Historical commentary as well as academic support is provided in appendices.
