Jóns saga leikara

Kalinke and Mitchell summarise the saga thus: Composed in Iceland, presumably in the fourteenth century.

The saga relates the strange adventures encountered by Jon, a young knight, in Flæmingialand.

He is welcomed by the king and witnesses mysterious events during a great banquet and again the following morning, when a fierce wolf is captured.

Jon requests the wolf as a parting gift, and it turns out that the beast is in reality Sigurðr, the king's son, upon whom his stepmother had placed a spell.
