Speculum Regale, also known as "Konungs skuggsj ", is a Old Norwegian didactic text, likely written in the 13th century. Preserved in multiple manuscripts, this work provides insights into the social, political, and economic life of medieval Scandinavia. Primarily written as a guide for merchants, warriors, and courtiers, "Speculum Regale" offers instructions and advice on proper conduct, governance, and Christian morality.

It remains an essential source for understanding medieval Scandinavian society and culture, offering valuable perspectives on the values, beliefs, and customs of the time. Its enduring appeal lies in its comprehensive portrayal of the era, making it relevant to historians, literary scholars, and anyone interested in the medieval world.
