   • 1983, Paul Thompson, Tony Wailey and Trevor Lummis, History Workshop Series: Living the Fishing, Routledge & Kegan Paul,

     From the twelfth century Shetland had been administered directly by the Norwegian crown through the 'foud', rather than forming part of the patrimony of a great aristocratic estate. The foud appointed 'underfouds' and the Shetlands evolved their own elected officers, a 'lawman' and parish 'lawrightmen', who adjudicated and negotiated the collection of customary taxes and fines on behalf of the local population.
