By exploring legislation on violence, sorcery, sexual morality, and theft, it considers whether women were seen as independent legal subjects or as extensions of their families. It identifies various gendered punishments and discriminatory treatments, revealing regional differences and the influence of European legal ideologies. It also uncovers an emphasis on individual culpability for crimes, reflecting a shift from collective to individual responsibility and women's increasing property rights. This comparative analysis offers a nuanced view of medieval Nordic law, highlighting the complex relationship between gender, law, and society during this transformative period. It explains how criminal law was influenced by canon law and German town law and offers new insights into the legal history of the Nordic region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helle Vogt, Mia Korpiola, Else Mundal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1802701842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781802701845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ARC Humanities Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Helle Vogt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46721515487487,"sku":"9781802701845","price":124.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e1e0868-0f12-4560-b1ce-2db8c64d2b4b.jpg?v=1742753097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gendered-punishments-in-medieval-nordic-helle-vogt-9781802701845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
