Gray Goose Laws

The Gray Goose Laws (Icelandic: Grágás) were a collection of laws from the Icelandic Commonwealth period consisting of Icelandic civil laws and the laws governing the Christian church in Iceland. Prior to the establishment of the Gray Goose Laws all the Icelandic laws were recited by the Law Speaker at Althingi over a three year period. In 1117 Althingi decided that all the laws should be written down and this was accomplished at Haflidi Másson’s farm over that winter and published the following year.
