Gairethinx

Gairethinx

The gairethinx was a Lombard ceremony in which edicts and laws were affirmed by the army. It may have involved the entire army banging their spears on their shields. It may have been a much quieter event.

It is etymologically related to the "Thing" of the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons and the "Althing" of Iceland.
