Viking Age Iceland by Byock, Jesse L. [Paperback, 480 pages]
22,27 €
In this history, Jesse Byock shows that Norse society in Iceland was an independent, almost a republican free state, without warlords or kings. With interpretations of blood feud and the sagas, Byock reveals how the law courts favoured compromise over violence, and how the society grappled with proto-democratic tendencies.
