Habogi

Habogi is an Icelandic fairy tale published in Neuislandische Volksmärchen by linguist Adeline Rittershaus.

Adeline Rittershaus sourced the tale from a female teller named Guðríður Einarsdóttir.

When her sisters' wedding was over, he brought her a beautiful horse, with a saddle of red and gold, and said she must see where she would live once she married him.

They rode off, and he showed her a great meadow, with a large herd of sheep that were his, but the finest one, with golden bells on its horns, was to be hers.

[4][5] In her commentaries, Adeline Rittershaus surmises that the tale seemed incomplete, since the narrative does not tell if Habogi was an enchanted prince himself, or disguises as an old man to test his bride.
