Scientists say skeletal remains found in a castle well belong to figure from 800-year-old saga.

From CNN: "The 800-year-old Sverris saga, which follows the story of the real-life King Sverre Sigurdsson, includes the tossing of the body of a dead man โ€” later known as 'Well-man' โ€” down a well during a military raid in central Norway in 1197."
