Magnus VI, after settling the war with …
Years: 1274 - 1274
Magnus VI, after settling the war with Scotland, has concerned himself with the revision of his country’s laws.
He introduces his general code of laws in 1274, replacing local legal systems with a unified code for the entire kingdom.
The code strengthens the position of the monarch by treating crime not as a private matter but as an offense against king and country.
Magnus, who also promulgates municipal laws and accepts an independent status for the church, comes to be called Magnus Lagaboter (Magnus the Law-Mender).
