View show details

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the legal and social world behind the Ragnar Lothbrok sagas. They discuss the Thing, the Norse assembly that governed Viking communities, and how blood feuds operated alongside early legal codes. Drawing on the Grágás law codes from Iceland and the Gulathing Law from Norway, they examine how disputes were resolved, how outlawry worked, and what the sagas reveal about justice in the Viking Age. The episode also touches on the role of chieftains, the concept of wergild, and how the famous 'blood eagle' punishment fits into this legal framework. A fresh angle on a familiar figure. #VikingLaw #Thing #BloodFeud #Grágás #Gulathing #RagnarLothbrok #NorseSociety #Wergild #Outlawry #VikingAge #Iceland #Norway #NorseLaw #BloodEagle #Chieftains #FexingoHistory #History #NorthernEurope Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
