Scandinavia has been absent in previous research about hostages from the perspectives of legal and social history, which has mostly focused on Antiquity (the Roman Empire), Continental Germanic cultures, such as the Merovingian realm, and Anglo-Saxon England. The examples presented are from confrontations between Scandinavians and other peoples in which the hostage giving and taking was displayed as a ritual act and thus became symbolically important. Hostages were a vital part of the peace processes and used as resources by both sides in the ?areas of communication? within the ?areas of confrontation?. Literary texts as well as runic inscriptions, picture stones, place names, and personal names are used as source material." 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 606 $aPhilosophy$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of religion$2bicssc 606 $aAnthropology$2bicssc 606 $aFaith (religious) schools$2bicssc 606 $aLegal history$2bicssc 615 7$aHistory 615 7$aPhilosophy 615 7$aHistory of religion 615 7$aAnthropology 615 7$aFaith (religious) schools 615 7$aLegal history 700 $aOlsson$b Stefan$4aut$0952099 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910372736403321 996 $aThe Hostages of the Northmen$92152460 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00813nam0 22002291i 450 001 UON00135207 005 20231205102817.596 100 $a20020107d1968 |0itac50 ba 101 $apan 102 $aIN 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aAgga di kheda$fNanak Singh 210 $a[s. l.]$c[s. n.]$d1968 215 $a280 p.$d23 cm 686 $aSI VI IP$cSUBCONT.
