Résumé

The Life and Death of Cormac the Skald presents the saga of Kormak Ogmundsson, a tenth-century Icelandic poet, and his doomed love for Steingerd Torkelsdottir. After a curse disrupts events, Kormak arrives late for his own wedding, and Steingerd is compelled to marry someone else. The story then traces Kormak’s path as he goes abroad, traveling to Ireland with King Harald Greycloak, before reaching Scotland. Across this journey, the saga preserves many poems connected to his relationship and reflects the consequences of love cut short.
