The Christianization of Iceland: Priests, Power, and Social Change 1000-1300 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780198207993)

This study investigates the role played by the Christian church in the development of power structures in Iceland, from the conversion in AD 1000 to the end of the thirteenth century. It demonstrates that by the time of the union with the Norwegian kingdom in 1262, fundamental constitutional changes had been brought about as a direct consequence of Christianization.
