Saga of the Confederates

This saga struk me as being a saga, that wasn't secifically about a character being the hero and blatently taking revenge (even though that is arguable in this case). This saga brought significant insight into the inner workings of the legal system of the time. I thought it was very odd that, the judges had the power to decide the fate of a criminal, once the Confederates formed no one dared to pose a defense, because the Chieftains held alot of power. In addition to this, I thought it was Ironic that the Father of Odd, Ofeig, bribed the judges to play fair. I laughed at the fact that he went to play dirty so the judges would play clean. That and I also found humor in the fact that Odd invited teh Confederates to his wedding at the end of the saga, sort of a 'Have no hard feelings, that you guys got humiliated, not once, but atleast twice.' I chukled.
