Everything about Westrogothic Law totally explained
Västgötalagen or the
Westrogothic law is the oldest
Swedish text written in the
Latin script and the oldest of the
Swedish provincial laws. The text was written sometime during the early
13th century and was the
code of law used in
Västergötland during the latter half of the 13th century. The oldest complete text is dated to
1281. Smaller fragments of an older text have been dated to
1250.
The law code exists in two versions, the
Äldre Västgötalagen and the
Yngre Västgötalagen (Elder and Younger Westrogothic law, respectively). The first republication in modern times was Hans Samuel Collin and Carl Johan Schylter in
1827. A new edition by Gösta Holm was published in
1976.
The list of Christian Swedish kings in the appendix of the
Äldre Västgötalagen was written down by a priest called Laurentius in Vedum, Västergötland, around 1325, and its origin isn't known. The list starts from
Olof Skötkonung and ends in
Johan Sverkersson.
