[Regia-NA] goši

[Matthew Tarplee]

Forgiveme if I'm wrong here; from whay I've read the
term goši is an exclusively icelandic term refuring to
a sort of priest/cheiftain overseeing the both the
religious and secular needs of an area. Of course a
goši's infulance gradually shifted to the wholy
secular after the conversion to christainity.

I was wondering if anyone knows weather there was an
equivalent social position in viking scandinavia?

Thanks folks

Matt
