本文从世纪早期冰岛巩固权力和建立领土国家的内部因素出发，分析了冰岛成为挪威王国一部分的过程。教会通过其和平与社会稳定运动为冰岛带来了新的议程，但世俗和教会权力分离的无意后果是，一些家庭和地区网络以牺牲其他人为代价变得更强大。一个新的精英阶层寻求领土权力，但新的制度本质上是不稳定的，因为杰出的酋长都试图成为国家的唯一统治者。战争的性质发生了变化，引入了激烈的战斗，并在区域基础上不断骚扰农民。因此，君主的统治开始似乎是和平与稳定的唯一保证。
In this article the process of Iceland becoming a part of the kingdom in Norway is analyzed in view of internal factors which lead to the consolidation of power and the creation of territorial states in the early thirteenth century. The church brought to Iceland a new agenda through its campaign for peace and social stability, but an unintentional consequence of the separation of secular and ecclesiastical power was that some families and regional networks became stronger at the expense of others. A new elite sought territorial power but the new system was inherently unstable as the preeminent chieftains each sought to become sole ruler of the country. The nature of warfare changed, with the introduction of pitched battles and the constant harassing of farmers on a regional basis. As a result, the rule of a monarch began to seem the only guarantee for peace and stability.
