"Illuga saga Gríðarfóstra" is a short "fornaldarsaga" whose earliest witness is a manuscript from the sixteenth century (AM 123 8vo). There are thirty-six other known manuscripts containing the Old Norse text produced between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The saga tells of Illugi, a promising young champion from Denmark, who has an adventure with a troll-woman named Gríður after the ship he is on is blown off course into the frozen north.
