What location is common to Knýtlinga saga and Cnut the Great?
Knýtlinga saga Knýtlinga saga ("The Saga of Cnut's Descendants") is an Icelandic kings' saga written in the 1250s, which deals with the kings who ruled Denmark since the early 10th century.
Brattahlíð Brattahlíð, often anglicised as Brattahlid, was Erik the Red's estate in the Eastern Settlement Viking colony he established in south-western Greenland toward the end of the 10th century. The present settlement of Qassiarsuk, approximately 5 km southwest from the Narsarsuaq settlement, is now located in its place. The site is located about 96 km from the ocean, at the head of the Tunulliarfik Fjord, and hence sheltered from ocean storms. Erik and his descendants lived there until about the mid-15th century. The name "Brattahlíð" means "the steep slope".
