/ Some of the most interesting documents  \
| from Sweden's middle ages are the old   |
| county laws (well, we never had         |
| counties but it's the nearest           |
| equivalent I can find for "landskap").  |
| These laws were written down sometime   |
| in the 13th century, but date back even |
| down into Viking times. The oldest one  |
| is the Vastgota law which clearly has   |
| pagan influences, thinly covered with   |
| some Christian stuff. In this law, we   |
| find a page about "lekare", which is    |
| the Old Norse word for a performing     |
| artist, actor/jester/musician etc. Here |
| is an approximate translation, where I  |
| have written "artist" as equivalent of  |
| "lekare".                               |
|                                         |
| "If an artist is beaten, none shall pay |
| fines for it. If an artist              |
|                                         |
| is wounded, one such who goes with      |
| hurdie-gurdie or travels with           |
|                                         |
| fiddle or drum, then the people shall   |
| take a wild heifer and bring            |
|                                         |
| it out on the hillside. Then they shall |
| shave off all hair from the             |
|                                         |
| heifer's tail, and grease the tail.     |
| Then the artist shall be given          |
|                                         |
| newly greased shoes. Then he shall take |
| hold of the heifer's tail,              |
|                                         |
| and a man shall strike it with a sharp  |
| whip. If he can hold her, he            |
|                                         |
| shall have the animal. If he cannot     |
| hold her, he shall endure what          |
|                                         |
\ he received, shame and wounds."         /
