Norðhymbra preosta lagu (Northu)
This law exists in a single copy in a manuscript collection of Archbishop Wulfstan of York’s laws and homilies. The law deals with offences committed against priests or churches, punishments for heathen practices, non-observance of Sundays, festivals and fasts, or for withholding church dues. The text post-dates 1023 and draws on legislation from the reigns of Æthelred and Cnut.
