Codex Theodoricus
Codex Theodoricus is a historical manuscript from the 12th century that documents the history and geography of Norway and surrounding regions. It is part of a collection called the "Kings' Chronicles," authored by Theodoricus the Monk, a Norwegian historian and cleric. The codex provides valuable insights into Viking-era Norway, including royal lineages, battles, and religious practices. It is an important source for understanding early Norwegian history, combining historical facts with some legend, and it helps preserve the cultural and political landscape of Scandinavia during that time.
