The Gott- |land sea laws formed one of the ‘vu iest codes of the sea, and Gott- land ponies and sheep are held in high esteem. “While the Interior island lacks the lure of scenery its churches at- |tract visitors who love mellow beauty. In Visby are churches | dating from the eleventh and twelfth | centuries which preserve practically every architectural form of that period. Through the countryside are village churches, mostly of the | thirteenth century, whose afchitec- | ture is so beautiful and original that | they, too, have 1memorialized the |island’s name in their special desig- nation, the Gottland style. The | massive towers of these churches frequently are detached, and in some |of the churches are fine specimens |of stained glass. i Intermarriage Forbldden “Like isolated island people world over the Gottlanders are noted for their independence. Cen- !turies after they were restored to Sweden they held to the form of iway\ng nominal annual tribute with the declaration that they did so by their own consent. As early as the thirteenth century the island had its own popular assembly and Sweden was not permitted to veto the en- actments of this body. During the days of its Hanseatic prosperity in- termarriage of Gottlanders with allens was prohibited. “It is related that the islanders sent one of their number to Upsala to make a treaty with the king. fanciers The monarch was feasting when the | emissary arrived and kept hls visi- (tor waiting at the threshold.
