It demonstrates that the Icelanders - partly subjects of the king, and partly beyond his power - were ready to negotiate with him for their own benefit, and presents a methodological re-evaluation of authorial attributions of the sagas and their use as historical sources. Key to the book is a revisionary analysis of two laws made between the Icelanders and the kings of Norway: a law probably issued by King Óláfr inn helgi of Norway (1015-1028), and the purported submission agreements with King Hákon Hákonarson (1217-1263), known as Gizurarsáttmáli or Gamli sáttmáli. It also analyses the sagas of the fourteenth-century manuscript Möđruvallabók against the historical context extracted from this legal re-evaluation. 410 0$aThe Northern World ;$v17. 517 3 $aMediaeval Sagas and Legal Texts 606 $aLaw$zIceland$xHistory 606 $aSagas$xHistory and criticism 607 $aIceland$xHistory$yTo 1262 607 $aIceland$xRelations$zNorway 607 $aNorway$xRelations$zIceland 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aSagas$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a839.6/309 700 $aBoulhosa$b Patricia Pires$01622405 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807979903321 996 $aIcelanders and the Kings of Norway$93956240 997 $aUNINA
