metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Two fundamentally different phases of social development in archaic Scandinavia can be identified.
  Judging by the fact that the long house of frame construction of the patrilocal extended
  family, who had been keeping an oðal for generations, emerged in the early Scandinavian
  Bronze Age around 1800 BC and existed for three millennia, including the so-called “Viking
  Age”, it is possible to assume that the traditional Scandinavian society of bonds had existed
  all this time until 1179–1180 in Denmark. The odel system had developed; this land was inherited
  by males and passed down from generation to generation. Often three generations of
  relatives — the head of the oðal with his wife and his adult sons with their wives and children
  as well as numerous household members and house slaves — lived under the same roof in a
  long house with central rectangular hearths along the axis. The king had the right to call out
  militia of bonds, which under the leadership of its leaders — strong and wealthy bonds — was
  quite capable of resisting the king’s not large squad and often dictated terms to it. The kings
  were chosen at þings — assemblies of armed men of districts where legal issues were settled.
  The formation of early medieval states in Denmark took place in the last quarter of the 12th
  century. The king Valdemar and Bishop Absalon after a period of the so-called “civil wars”
  supported by professional heavy cavalry defeated the militia and disarmed bonds, who were
  now assigned only agriculture work, taxes to the crown and the church and service to the new
  feudal lords.
