Þing-festi

Old Norse Dictionary - þing-festi

Betydningen af oldnorske ordet "þing-festi"

Som defineret af Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse til English ordbog:

þing-festi
f. a law term, domicile in or allegiance to a ‘þing-community. In the Icel. Commonwealth every franklin had to declare his allegiance to one of the priests, and to say of what community he was a member; yet the word was political rather than strictly geographical, for the ‘þings,’ like the ‘godords,’ were not strictly geographical divisions, Grág. i. 164: hence the phrase, spyrja at þingfesti e-s. to speer after a man’s þingfesti, call on him to declare it, as also ganga við þ. e-s, to acknowledge one’s þ. (of the priest), Grág. (Kb.) i. 3, 43, 132, Nj. 87; því at einu er rétt at hafa þingfesti í öðrum fjórðungi heldr enn er maðr býr, ef goða er þat lofat þeim at lögbergi at taka þriðjungs-mann útan-fjórðungs, Grág. i. 165, which last passage is evidently a ‘novella.’
