[2] Kalinke and Mitchell summarise the saga thus: Rémundr falls in love with a maiden whom he has seen only in his dreams.
Rémundr kills Eskupart who claimed to be the maiden's lover, but is himself wounded.
Before he died Eskupart prophesied that Rémundr could be healed only by the most beautiful woman in the world.
After many adventures, Rémundr is healed in India by Elina, the woman of his dreams.
[4] Among the saga's main inspirations are the Norwegian Tristrams saga ok Ísöndar,[3] and a story like the fourteenth-century romance Petit Artus de Bretagne.
