Why read it?
1 author picked From Gang Leader to the Lord's Anointed as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
An excellent account of this supremely intelligent Machiavellian rogue and wit of a Norwegian king by the eminent Norwegian historian and namesake Sverre Bagge. King Sverrir’s saga was written by an Icelander with the king looking over his shoulder and apparently dictating portions of it. Nothing quite captures a medieval insurgency any better than this saga when read through the lens of Bagge’s astute commentary.
From William's list on the Icelandic and Norse sagas.
