Old Norse religion Old Norse religion developed from early Germanic religion during the Proto-Norse period, when the North Germanic peoples separated into a distinct branch of the Germanic peoples. It was displaced by Christianization of the North Germanic peoples. Scholars reconstruct aspects of North Germanic religion by historical linguistics, archaeology, toponymy, and records left by North Germanic peoples, such as runic inscriptions in the Younger Futhark, a distinctly North Germanic extension of the runic alphabet. Numerous Old Norse works dated to the 13th century record Norse mythology, a component of North Germanic religion.
History of Gwynedd during the High Middle Ages The history of Gwynedd in the High Middle Ages is a period in the History of Wales spanning the 11th through the 13th centuries. Gwynedd, located in the north of Wales, eventually became the most dominant of Welsh principalities during this period. Distinctive achievements in Gwynedd include further development of Medieval Welsh literature, particularly poets known as the "Beirdd y Tywysogion" (Welsh for "Poets of the Princes") associated with the court of Gwynedd; the reformation of bardic schools; and the continued development of "Cyfraith Hywel" ("The Law of Hywel", or "Welsh law"). All three of these further contributed to the development of a Welsh national identity in the face of Anglo-Norman .
