The work discusses the laws of the military or court established by Canute the Great, emphasizing their origins, purpose, and the organization of soldiers under his reign. It is the establishment of military laws, known as Witherlogh, by Canute the Great, King of Denmark and England, to maintain order among soldiers and prevent chaos. It highlights the historical significance of these laws, which were preserved through the efforts of Archbishop Absalon and King Canute. The narrative explains how Canute organized his military forces based on merit and lineage, promoting a culture of honor and competition among soldiers. This resulted in a well-structured military cohort, known as Thinglith, symbolizing the king's authority and the soldiers' valor.
