Konungsannáll

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konungsannáll (from Old Norse, King's Annals, or Latin Annales Islandorum regii), also known as Þingeyraannáll, is a medieval Icelandic manuscript written around the middle of the 14th century.[1] The Icelandic annals are used as a chronological reference for Árna saga Þorlákssonar, the saga of Bishop Árni Þorláksson.[2]

Konungsannáll is preserved as manuscript GKS 2087 4.º (c. 1300–1328).[3]
