	~~Text missing~~		In this chapter, Miller discusses kinship in both theory and practice within the Icelandic sagas. He focuses on the necessity of kin to support the social practices and system of the medieval Icelandic world—even going so far as to say it was what made the Icelandic world go round. The chapter gives an in-depth look into multiple aspects of kinship, which may be explored further in the references. The most important conclusions he comes to are the following: the fact that kinship was not actually limited to blood or marriage, and instances of friends acting as kin for each other was common; such as Njáll and Gunnar. Kinship was also the core of group formation in an otherwise unstructured society. Furthermore, kinship was not something that existed without effort—in order to maintain the strongest bonds with your kin, gift giving, feasting, and other efforts must be made to continue your relationship. While it was not always a stable system—for example, Miller dedicates time to discussing kin-strife in the chapter—on the whole, kinship helped structure Icelandic society by promoting group formation and avenging one another within the feud culture.
