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.

The Norse laws were originally memorized by the lawspeaker s, but after the end of the Viking Age they were committed to writing. Initially they were geographically limited to minor jurisdictions l gs gur , and the Bjarkey laws concerned various merchant towns, but later there were laws that applied to entire Scandinavian kingdoms. The court assembly, the thing assembly thing , used the law and heard witnesses to rule whether the accused was guilty or not. There were usually two types of punishment outlaw ing and fine penalty fine s. In rare cases the accused could also be sentenced to death. The most common means of justice were however fines the amount varied depending on the severity of the offense. Iceland In 1117 the Althingi decided that all the laws should be written down and this was accomplished at Hafli i M sson s farm over that winter and published the following year. The resulting codex is known as the Gray Goose Laws Icelandic Gr g s and they were a collection of laws from the Icelandic Commonwealth period consisting of Icelandic civil laws and the laws governing the Christian church in Iceland.

The Scanian lands were Danish until the middle of the 17th century, and the Scanian Law predates Sweden s similar provincial laws.
