2. [different from the preceding, and akin to if not derived from the Lîða, the name of a double month, June and July, (ærra and æftera Lîða); it remains in the Leet = the law court of the hundred]:—the Leet, a meeting which in the Commonwealth was held shortly after midsummer, fourteen nights after the dissolution of the Althing; the Leet was the third and last public meeting (Vár-þing, Alþingi, Leið); at the Leet the new laws and licences of the past Althing were published, as also the calendar of the current year, At the time of the Grágás, 12th and 13th centuries, the Leet was held where the vár-þing or fjórðungs-þing used to be held, and lasted a day or two (tveggja nátta Leið, 168, 75), and was held in common by all the three goðar of the quarter (sam-leið). But in the Saga time (10th century) the Leets appear to have been a kind of county assemblies; this may be inferred from the records of the Sagas, as also from local names indicating small county ‘Leets,’ different from the sam-leið of the Grágás. For the Grágás, see Þingsk. Þ. 61 (p. 111 1853). For the Sagas, 25, 2, 3; líðr nú á sumarit, ríðr hann til Leiðar ok helgar hana, 9, 10, 3, 6l, iii. 169; the manna-mót, 17, also refers to a Leet; á leiðum ok lögmötum, 43; tveggja nátta leið, 75; leið-mót, 168, 75, 8. Special Leets named, Vöðla-leið, Hegranes-leið, 292; Ljósvetninga-leið, 184, 7, 292; Eyfirðinga-leið, Reykdæla-leið, 7 (Þverár-leið, ); Þverár-leið in south-western , iii. 169.II. local names, Leið-völlr, Leet-field, 31; Leið-hólmr, 9, where also hólmganga was held. ☞ After the union with Norway the Leet remained (see the ), and was held at intervals down to the 17th century, see Pál leið, pp. 326, 327.
