Icelanders And The Kings Of Norway Mediaeval Sagas And Legal Texts Patricia Pires Boulhosa by Patricia Pires Boulhosa 9004145168 instant download after payment.

The book uses sagas and legal texts to re-examine the relations between mediaeval Icelanders and the Norwegian kings. It demonstrates that the Icelanders - partly subjects of the king, and partly beyond his power - were ready to negotiate with him for their own benefit, and presents a methodological re-evaluation of authorial attributions of the sagas and their use as historical sources. Key to the book is a revisionary analysis of two laws made between the Icelanders and the kings of Norway: a law probably issued by King ?l?fr inn helgi of Norway (1015-1028), and the purported submission agreements with King H?kon H?konarson (1217-1263), known as Gizurars?ttm?li or Gamli s?ttm?li. It also analyses the sagas of the fourteenth-century manuscript M??ruvallab?k against the historical context extracted from this legal re-evaluation.
