Your Althing, founded in 930, is the world's oldest democratic national assembly. |
No Althing was held in Iceland in that year of the great eruption of Skaptar. |
If he leaves us now he leaves us a poor man, as Althing may well assure itself. |
For almost 1,000 years the country's ancient parliament, the Althing, met here. |
The principal institution of the republic was the Althing, which was both a legislative assembly and a court of law. |
Now men ride to the Althing after their wont, and now both sides are at the Thing. |
