Produktbeschreibung
This book a " inspired by historians like Fredric Cheyette, Stephen White and William Miller a " applies a legal anthropological framework to Norwegian history. At the same time, it focuses on what happens when pre-state conflict patterns encounters a more stable royal power in the high middle ages.

In addition it clearly demonstrates the relevance of studying Scandinavian history as part of European history.
