The Older Gulathing Law (Routledge Medieval Translations)

The Gulathing law regulates relations between the social classes, the king and his officers, the clergy, and the peasantry. Parts of the law appear to be a social contract between two parties: on the one hand the people, on the other hand the church and the king. Accompanied by a translator's introduction and a commentary essay which place the Gulathinglaw in a theological and church history perspective, this volume will be useful for both students and specialists of medieval Norwegian legal history and medieval Scandinavian law--
