			[[Njála,_012\| Chapter 12]]: ''' „ tók í hönd Höskuldi og sættust þeir ''': “This case provides in Hrut an example of a person who plays a number of roles in the processing of a dispute, all with great intelligence and skill. He serves as an advisor and supporter to his brother, a mediator, and ultimately an arbitrator.” (p. 120)

	~~Text missing~~		Examining three case-histories about murder disputes in the medieval kin-based Icelandic society, the author focuses on arbitrated settlements ("sætt", agreement), showing that this mechanism was often preferred to legal judgments, as most of them didn’t lead to clear outcomes and consequences. The author points out the importance of the pacemaker figures in pressing the parties to a reconciliation, obtaining for the litigants (and often for the arbitrators) short term advantages, such as reinforcing friendships and alliances or just a compensation payment, as shown by the analysis of the three cases and the complex decision-making process. The author’s opinion is that the arbitrated settlements, even if they didn't led to stable peace, were an affirmation of the peacemaking ideology of Icelandic society.
