Compilation of Early Norwegian Laws."The oldest Norwegian laws,
those of Gula and Frosta, go back to a time when the culture of the
Middle Ages was still a somewhat novel experience in Northern
Europe. Though the copies that have survived seem to date from the
twelfth century and later, the codes must, in considerable part,
have taken form in the eleventh century, or as early as the first
generation of the Christian age. Heathendom had by that time been
outlawed, but one seems justified in believing that the cult of
strength and valor was for some time yet a force that had to be
taken into account; for the principles that governed in the heathen
age retained much of their ancient vigor, and the old civilization,
rooted, as it was, in the soil itself, was able in large measure to
maintain both life and validity." --Foreword, viiLaurence M. Larson
