The saga tells of the three sons of King Flóres of Traktía and Princess Elína of Kartagía. Flóres had abducted the princess who later bore him three children. During Flóres' absence Elína and her children are fetched by her father, but their ship disappears. They are assumed dead, and Flóres remarries. When Flóres rejects Duke Sintram as suitor for a daughter born of his second marriage, the duke declares war against Flóres. In his army are the sons of King Flóres. They are captured by their father and during the night before their planned execution they tell each other their life stories. The king overhears them, and realises they are his sons. A reconciliation ensues. Kalinke and Mitchell, pp. 45-46.
