Abstract

This short paper was an invited contribution to The Historian's thematic issue on Literature and focuses on the ongoing interdisciplinary developments in recent years that continue to cast new light on the complex, sophisticated, and practical details of the Viking Age and medieval Scandinavian legal systems and how exploring them can help to confront problematic narratives in popular understandings of the period.
