Icelanders and the kings of Norway : mediaeval sagas and legal texts /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

The book discusses the relation between the Icelanders and the mediaeval Norwegian kings, as it appears in sagas and legal texts. By reassessing legal material and the sagas of Möðruvallabók, it finds the Icelanders partly subjects of the king, and partly beyond his power.
