Njal's Saga | 
pickIcelandic saga ~13th century.
Passage above is typical and atypical. Typical because the importance of the law and its judgments permeates the text in a way I think people who expect an Icelandic Saga to be full of battle scenes and murder would not expect.
Atypical in that there are lots of battle scenes and murders. Also humor, colorful characters, and an exploration of honor, its consequences and the failure of laws to successfully mediate.
Settings No spoilers but realize that does have some epic foreshadowing. 5y
