Volume 2 (of 2)" by Paul B. Du Chaillu is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This expansive work delves into various aspects of Viking society, culture, and customs, illuminated by archaeological findings and ancient literary sources such as sagas and Eddas. The book provides insights into the lives of the ancestors of English-speaking nations and examines their practices, including marriage, child-rearing, and warfare. At the start of this volume, the opening chapter focuses on marriage among the Norse people, detailing the high status of women, the civil nature of marriage, and the various customs surrounding it. It highlights the importance of agreements known as "mund" that formalized marriages, the roles of suitors, and the expectations placed upon both men and women in selecting marriage partners. The chapter provides numerous examples from the Sagas to illustrate these practices, shedding light on the intricacies of relationships within Viking society, where marriage and familial bonds were often intertwined with matters of property and social standing.
