Before Iceland had kings or governors, it was governed by a class of chieftains called goðar. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the goðar system worked—how chieftains combined religious, legal, and political power, how they competed for followers at the Althing, and how the goðar's ambitions eventually led to the Sturlung Age and the end of the Commonwealth. They discuss the role of the goði in the local assembly, the curious practice of 'church-stealing,' and the story of Snorri Sturluson as a chieftain who tried to play the great powers off each other. Along the way, they touch on the Grágás law code, the sword Skofnung, and the fate of the chieftaincy under Danish rule. #goðar #Iceland #Commonwealth #Althing #Grágás #SnorriSturluson #SturlungAge #Skofnung #VikingAge #Chieftains #MedievalIceland #Law #Thingvellir #Þingvellir #Lögsögumaður #Hrafnkel #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
