The saga is based on Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla but supplemented by prose and poetry from a version of Morkinskinna which is no longer extant.
[1] Hulda-Hrokkinskinna is especially valuable in places where the preserved Morkinskinna manuscript is defective.
The text of Hulda-Hrokkinskinna was printed in the sixth and seventh volumes of Fornmanna sögur in 1831 and 1832.
The Danish scholar Jonna Louis-Jensen has done extensive work on Hulda-Hrokkinskinna.
In 1968, she published a facsimile edition of Hulda and in 1977 a critical analysis of the saga.
