By the way Timber, not all Vikings had Althing, just the Icelandic ones... but you were right about the rest, in fact if you read Njáls saga it's whole plot revolves around that type of revenge. It's main characters just sink deeper and deeper into bloodlust and hate until they have nothing left except exile. It is thought to be the first Icelandic fiction (at least the oldest one that survived the ages) and be written to critize the "revenge system"... maybe the author was sort of a Viking Micheal moore...
