Gulating (Old Norse: Gulaþing) was one of the first Norwegian legislative assemblies, or things, and also the name of a present-day law court of western Norway.[1] The practice of periodic regional assemblies predates recorded history and was firmly established at the time of the unification of Norway into a single kingdom (900–1030). These assemblies or lagþings were not democratic but did not merely serve elites either. They functioned as judicial and legislative bodies, resolving disputes and establishing laws.
Gulaþing, along with Norway's three other ancient regional assemblies, the Borgarting, Eidsivating, and Frostating, were joined into a single jurisdiction during the late 13th century, when King Magnus the Lawmender had the existing body of law put into writing (1263–1280). They provided the institutional and legal framework for subsequent legislative and judicial bodies and remain in operation today as superior regional courts.[2]
