Nobility in Iceland (Icelandic: ''aðall''; Norwegian: ''adel'') may refer to the following: * Icelandics who belonged to the aristocracy of the Icelandic Republic. * Icelandics who belonged to the Norwegian nobility. * Icelandics who belonged to the Danish nobility. == Aristocracy of the Icelandic Republic == During the Norse settlement of Iceland, beginning in ca. 874 and lasting until ca. 930, chieftains and aristocratic families from Western and Northern Norway arrived to the island. They had refused to accept Harald I Halfdanson as their high king, instead abandoning their chieftain seats and petty kingdoms and heading west. One of these seats was Borg in Lofoten. In the following centuries Iceland was ruled by a handful of aristocratic families, each controlling their respective part of the island, mainly the Sturlungar, the Ásbirningar, the Oddaverjar, the Haukdælir, the Vatnsfirðingar, and the Svínfellingar. During this time a rich amount of poetry and literature was created, among others by poet Sighvatr Sturluson and by poet and historian Snorri Sturluson. The aforementioned families are extensively described in historical literature, for example in the ''Sturlunga saga''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nobility in Iceland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
