Viktors saga ok Blávus is a medieval Icelandic romance saga from the fifteenth century. SummaryKalinke and Mitchell summarise the saga thus: The saga relates the adventures of the foster-brothers Viktor, son of the king of France, and Blávus, a foreign prince who possesses a flying carpet. After introductory adventures involving vikings and berserks, Viktor sets off for India to sue for the hand of Fulgida, a maiden king. After Viktor has been repeatedly humiliated, Blavus travels to India disguised as a monk, cures Fulgida of a skin disease, and exchanges shapes with her so that she can travel to France without interference from her knights. Fulgida (Blávus) agrees to marry Soldán of Serkland on the condition that Rósida, Soldán's daughter, be bridesmaid. On the wedding day Fulgida (Blávus) abducts Rósida on OriginsBy identifying Middle English antecedents for some Icelandic exempla and discussing related evidence for the date of Jónatas ævintýri, Jorgensen argues that the influence of this exemplum on Viktors saga shows that Viktors saga must have been written after the beginning of English ecclesiastical influence in Iceland (ca. 1429) and before the first extant manuscript of the saga (ca. 1470)'.[2] Moreover, the derivative Viktorsrímur fornu rhymes vá with á 'generally considered characteristic of only the oldest rímur suggesting it's no later than c. 1450, allowing Jorgensen to date the saga to c. 1440.[3] Meanwhile, Jorgensen showed that Sigurgarðs saga frækna, first attested in the last quarter of the fifteenth century, borrowed from Viktors saga.[4] Jorgensen's work partly supersedes the study of Viktors saga’s sources and analogues by Einar Ól. Sveinsson, but Einar's study remains valuable.[5] Manuscripts and transmissionKalinke and Mitchell identified the following manuscripts of the saga:[6]
