Book Synopsis The Function of Kinship in Medieval Nordic Legislation by : Helle Vogt
Book excerpt: In the Nordic medieval laws a new definition of kinship – a canonical one – was introduced, based on the Church’s incest prohibitions and the requirement to love your kin. It influences the rules for property transfer, inheritance, wergeld and marriage.
