A note on English spelling: All English equivalents of Nordic terms drawn from published and draft translations have been normalized to reflect British spelling conventions, regardless of how they appear in their source. An attempt has been made to standardize language usage and style throughout this work, but various portions have been compiled by multiple authors and reflect their individual preferences.
Medieval Swedish law codes are often referred to by the accepted groupings of Göta laws (Äldre Västgötalagen, Yngre Västgötalagen, Östgötalagen, Smålandslagen) and Svea laws (Dalalagen, Hälsingelagen, Södermannalagen, Upplandslagen, Västmannalagen).
