Medieval Scandinavian law

Medieval Scandinavian law, also called North Germanic law, was a subset of Germanic law practiced by North Germanic peoples. It was originally memorized and recited by lawspeakers, then committed to writing after the Christianization of Scandinavia, mostly by Christian monks; individual jurisdictions were initially limited to small regions, called logsogur, before later laws came to apply to entire Scandinavian kingdoms, with each jurisdiction governed by an assembly of free men called a thing.
