	Magnús Jónsson (politician, 1887–1958) Magnús Jónsson or Magnús prúði (c. 1530 – 1591) was an Icelandic official and poet. He was born to a well-off family and received his education in Iceland and Germany, probably Hamburg. Given his career, the curriculum must have included jurisprudence. After a period as a farmer and landbroker, he held office as ''sýslumaður'', or chief administrator in two counties in Iceland, first ''Þingeyjaþingssýsla'' and later ''Ísafjarðarsýsla'', both now defunct as administrative units. He was a famous man in his time, but what has preserved his name for posterity are his writings or, to be specific, the first part of ''Pontus rímur'', a rímur cycle about a Spanish prince. Pontus rímur are among the better ones of the genre and are based, as many of the rímur were, on a French romance transmitted to Iceland through a German translation. Rímur are not widely read today, but Pontus rímur have secured themselves a special place in Icelandic literature by being a r ...
