Skáld-Helga rímur ('the "rímur" of Poet-Helgi', also Skáldhelga rímur or Skáldhelgarímur) is an Icelandic "rímur"-poem from the 1400s. The poem comprises seven "rímur", based on a now lost "Íslendingasaga", "Skáld-Helga saga", set around the first half of the eleventh century. Each "ríma" begins with a "mansöngr".
The main character is the poet Helgi Þórðarson, portrayed as a retained of Erik Håkonsson and Olaf the Holy. Later, he travels to Rome and meets the Pope, before proceeding to Greenland, where he ends his days as a law-man at Brattahlíð. The main theme of the "rímur" is the passionate love between Helgi and his betrothed, Þórkatla, from whom he is separated by fate and by human wickedness. The staves, which are based on variants of the metre "ferskeytt", are often very sentimental. From the fourth "ríma" onwards, when Helgi goes to Greenland, there are also lurid supernatural elements: Helgi's boat is boarded by a walking corpse, while Greenland proves a den of robbers ruled by a witch.
The composer of the "rímur" is unknown, but probably a priest or monk, since Helgi is portrayed as quite religious. Although the original saga is now lost, later prose version of the "rímur" do exist under the name "Skáld-Helga saga".
The oldest manuscript of the "rímur" is Staðarhólsbók (Reykjavík, Stofnun Árna Magnússonar, AM 604, 4to).
