For the record, my name. Court records of Markús Bergsson, sheriff of Ísafjarðar County, 1711-1729. Compiled by Már Jónsson.
The magistrates' court records are an astonishing source of information about human life and mentality in previous centuries. They reveal love and misfortune, conflicts and evil speech, disobedience and deceit, but also show how the authorities used harsh punishments in order to maintain discipline. Here you can read the court records of Markús Bergsson, magistrate in the early 18th century and observe the incredible complexity and vast scope of his work in a large and difficult district. The publication is made in collaboration with the Ísfirðinga Historical Society. (Bókatíðindi 2002).
