Everything about The Gray Goose Laws totally explained
The
Gray Goose Laws (Icelandic:
Grágás) were a collection of laws from the
Icelandic Commonwealth period consisting of Icelandic civil laws and the laws governing the Christian church in Iceland. Prior to the establishment of the Gray Goose Laws all the Icelandic laws were recited by the
Law Speaker at the Icelandic national
parliament, the
Althingi, over a three year period. In
1117 the Althingi decided that all the laws should be written down and this was accomplished at
Haflidi Másson’s farm over that winter and published the following year.
These laws remained in force until
1271-
1273 at which time the
Ironside Laws - based on Norwegian laws - were adopted.
The term Gray Goose Laws was in use by the
16th Century and may refer to the following:
- the fact that the laws were written with a goose quill,
- the fact that the laws were bound in goose skin, or
- because of the age of the laws - it was then believed that geese lived longer than other birds.
