The Scandinavian clan or tt pronounced IPA sv t in Old Norse language Old Norse was a social group based on common descent or on the formal acceptance into the group at a thing assembly ing . History In the absence of a police force, the clan was the primary force of security in Norsemen Norse society, as the clansmen were obliged by honour to avenge one another. The Norse clan was not tied to a certain territory in the same way as a Scottish clan , where the chief owned the territory. The land of the Scandinavian clan was owned by the individuals who had close neighbours from other clans. The name of the clan was derived from that of its ancestor, often with the addition of an ung or ing ending.

Unreferenced date May 2008 Polish clans lang pl Rody differ from most clan systems in that while they are mostly composed of families sharing male line origin there can also be some genealogically unrelated families bearing the same coat of arms and clan name because of a formal adoption upon ennoblement or sometimes because of a misattribution petrified in heraldic literature. This is discussed under the topic of Polish Heraldry . Polish nobility, the szlachta , has its origins in Middle Ages chivalric clan s who provided military support to the king, the dukes, or various overlords. Over the centuries, various families, indeed whole noble classes from other nations, for example Lithuania, have been incorporated into the Polish clan system, by adoption. Exceptions apart, all Polish families belonging to the same noble clan used and continue to use the same coat of arms, sometimes with minor variations of Tincture heraldry tincture . The original Polish word herb encompasses the meanings clan as well as coat of arms simultaneously. Membership in a Polish clan does not always connote consanguinity or even territoriality, as do Scottish clan , but refers to the fact that member families belong to the same heraldic clan. This is why hundreds of different, sometimes unrelated families are to be found within the same clan with all of them being entitled to use the same coat of arms. For this reason, rather than being parallel to the Scottish clan model, the Polish clan system may be considered as being more akin to the Norseclans Scandinavian tt and the Sippe Germanic sippia .

The Norse laws were originally memorized by the lawspeaker s, but after the end of the Viking Age they were committed to writing. Initially they were geographically limited to minor jurisdictions l gs gur , and the Bjarkey laws concerned various merchant towns, but later there were laws that applied to entire Scandinavian kingdoms. The court assembly, the thing assembly thing , used the law and heard witnesses to rule whether the accused was guilty or not. There were usually two types of punishment outlaw ing and fine penalty fine s. In rare cases the accused could also be sentenced to death. The most common means of justice were however fines the amount varied depending on the severity of the offense. Iceland In 1117 the Althingi decided that all the laws should be written down and this was accomplished at Hafli i M sson s farm over that winter and published the following year. The resulting codex is known as the Gray Goose Laws Icelandic Gr g s and they were a collection of laws from the Icelandic Commonwealth period consisting of Icelandic civil laws and the laws governing the Christian church in Iceland.
