The Scandinavian clan or tt pronounced IPA sv t in Old Norse language Old Norse was a social group based on common descent or on the formal acceptance into the group at a thing assembly ing . History In the absence of a police force, the clan was the primary force of security in Norsemen Norse society as the clansmen were obliged by honour to avenge one another. The Norse clan was not tied to a certain territory in the same way as a Scottish clan , where the chief owned the territory. The land of the Scandinavian clan was owned by the individuals who had close neighbours from other clans. The name of the clan was derived from that of its ancestor, often with the addition of an ung or ing ending. As central government gradually was established in Scandinavia , the tt lost its relevance for commoner s. For royalty and nobility , however, it remained in use as the name for line and dynasty .

Unreferenced date May 2008 Polish heraldry Polish clans lang pl Rody differ from most clan systems in that while they are mostly composed of families sharing male line origin there can also be some genealogically unrelated families bearing the same coat of arms and clan name because of a formal adoption upon ennoblement or sometimes because of a misattribution petrified in heraldic literature. This is discussed under the topic of Polish Heraldry . Polish nobility, the szlachta , has its origins in Middle Ages chivalric clan s who provided military support to the king, the dukes, or various overlords. Over the centuries, various families, indeed whole noble classes from other nations, for example Lithuania, have been incorporated into the Polish clan system, by adoption. Exceptions apart, all Polish families belonging to the same noble clan used and continue to use the same coat of arms, sometimes with minor variations of Tincture heraldry tincture . The original Polish word herb encompasses the meanings clan as well as coat of arms simultaneously. Membership in a Polish clan does not always connote consanguinity or even territoriality, as do Scottish clan , but refers to the fact that member families belong to the same heraldic clan. This is why hundreds of different, sometimes unrelated families are to be found within the same clan with all of them being entitled to use the same coat of arms. For this reason, rather than being parallel to the Scottish clan model, the Polish clan system may be considered as being more akin to the Norseclans Scandinavian tt and the Sippe Germanic sippia .

Norsemen Norse architecture was a way buildings were designed in Scandinavia before and during medieval times the 1st through the 16th century. The major aspects of Norse architecture are Boathouse s, religious buildings before and after Christians arrived in the area , and general buildings both in cities and outside of them . Boating houses Boathouses are the buildings used to hold Viking Ships during the winter and any time they could not sail. They were usually built slightly back from the waterline. They were dug into the ground as well as built up. They had to be extremely long because the Viking Ships could 75 feet long or longer. The walls were made of wood with stones piled up at the base. Each held one ship only, but many boathouses could be built next to each other if multiple ships had to be housed. ref Stylegar, Frans Arne, and Oliver Grimm. 2005. http search.ebscohost.com login.aspx?direct true&db a9h&AN 18188205&site ehost live Boathouses in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic.
