The Grey Goose Laws of Iceland were presumably in use until 1262–1264 when Iceland was taken over by the Norwegian crown. The Grey Goose Laws does not contain a unified body of law, as arguably one never existed in the Icelandic commonwealth. Instead, the Grágás was derived from two smaller, fragmentary volumes known as the Konungsbók, presumably written around 1260, and Staðarhólsbók, presumably written in 1280. The sections of law contained within the Grágás are:Christian Laws Section, Assembly Procedures Section,Treatment of Homicide,The Wergild Ring List,The Lawspeaker’s Section, andThe Law Council Section.
