| description | Examining the Grágás and sagas of Medieval Iceland demonstrates that the laws which governed Medieval Iceland were both strict and lawbreakers were punished ruthlessly when those laws were broken.

By examining the Grágás and sagas one can see how the laws manifested themselves in Icelandic society. |
