Concentrating on the identity of the Icelandic elite during the 18th and the 19th century, the article argues that the introduction of “rang” or “noblesse de robe” – in the Danish‐Norwegian monarchy gave higher officials a European aristocratic identity. The author discusses how this aristocratic identity of the elite fits in with the historical discussion about the nature of Icelandic society, traditionally described as a society without any real social boundaries
