This volume considers in depth how social norms affected the creation and functioning of societies in the medieval North, approaching the topic from a range of disciplinary angles including law-making, politics, religion, and literacy. Edited by Jakub Morawiec, Aleksandra Jochymek and Grzegorz Bartusik.
