Af Upplendinga konunum is a short tale of the Norwegian part of the so-called Yngling. The saga consists of two short chapters in just over one book page, and is reproduced in Hauksbók. [1] Af Upplendinga konunum does not exist in other manuscripts. The author is unknown, but he probably had a common source with Snorri Sturluson. Af Upplendinga konunum appears to be a simplified and shortened version of Snorri's far more famous Ynglinga Saga, but one does not think Snorri is the source for the author of About Uplanders kings . [2] Rather, it seems that the Af Upplendinga konunum is somewhat older than Snorri's Ynglinga Saga. [3]
