Grágás

Grágás is an ancient Icelandic law code from the 12th to 13th centuries that served as the country's legal framework. It contains rules for various aspects of life, including property, marriage, crime, and government, reflecting Iceland's societal values and customs of the time. Written in Old Norse, it was a foundational legal document that helped maintain order and resolve disputes before the advent of modern law systems. Though largely replaced today, Grágás offers valuable insights into medieval Icelandic society and law.
