Feud in the Icelandic Saga

Feud stands at the core of the Old Icelandic sagas. Jesse Byock shows how the dominant concern of medieval Icelandic societyâ€”the channeling of violence into accepted patterns of feud and the regulation of conflictâ€”is reflected in the narrative of the family sagas and the Sturlunga saga compilation. This comprehensive study of narrative structure demonstrates that the sagas are complex expressions of medieval social thought.
