In the crowd, too, much in evidence, were brazen bondmaids; they had been brought to the Thing, generally, by captains and Jarls; it is not unusual for men to bring such slaves with them, though they are not permitted near the law courts or the assemblies of deliberation; the voyages to the Thing were not, after all, ventures of raiding; they were not enterprises of warfare; there were three reasons for bringing such girls; they were for the pleasure of the men; they served, as display objects, to indicate the wealth of their masters; and they could be bought and sold.
