The paper compares the living, working, and representative spaces described in the Old Norse chivalric sagas with the depiction of Old Norse reality in the family sagas. The discrepancies between the traditional literature and the excavations are taken into account, and the specifically female, male, and joint rooms and buildings are considered thoroughly.
The similarities in the spatial division as well as the differences seem to be of high importance when dealing with the interpretation of the primary and secondary chivalric sagas by its Icelandic audience.
