Forholdet mellom gammal og ny rett i norsk og islandsk lov i mellomalderen
Emnet for artikkelen er forholdet mellom gammal og ny rett i norske og islandske lover i mellomalderen. Av islandske lover går det klart fram av teksten Lögréttuþáttr at gammal lov galdt etter at ny lov var innført, så sant gammal lov ikkje var i konflikt med den nye. I norske lover er dette ikkje like klart uttrykt, men i artikkelen er det peikt på detaljar i og forhold ved norske lover som kan indikere at slik retten vart praktisert i Noreg, fø…
«En kvinne skal straffes for alle forbrytelser som en mann»
I artikkelen sammenlignes kjønnsspesifikke straffer i nordiske middelalderlover innenfor temaene vold og drap, seksualmoral og tyveri. Her undersøkes spesielt egne straffer for kvinnelige lovbrytere, og prinsippene bak disse. Forfatterne spør om kvinnen ble ansett for å være et selvstendig rettssubjekt, og hvorvidt forbrytelsen tillagt kvinner spesielt ble sett som en krenkelse av familien eller mot samfunnet. Lovene som undersøkes har opphav i t…

The perception of the Saamis and their religion in Old Norse sources
The position of women in Old Norse society and the basis for their power
According to the sources the position of women in Old Norse society was rather good. In this article the trustworthiness of the portrayal of women in saga literature is discussed. Special emphasis is given to the goading women since the picture of the strong women in Old Norse society leans very heavily on this motif. Today some scholars believe in the goading women, others regard them to be the authors’ invention. In this article it is argued th…
The position of the individual gods and goddesses in various types of sources - with special reference to the female divinities
In the written sources the gods are arranged in a patriarchal family structure with Odin on the top. If we try to rank the gods in order of precedence on the basis of the number of instances in the toponymic material, Odin would be found a good way down the list. Generally, we should expect gods connected with the cult of fertility and the agricultural society to be overrepresented in the toponymic material in comparison with a god of war. If we …
