Leysingi

In Norse law, a leysingr was a freed slave (a freed thrall).^[1]^[2]

A leysingr (plural: leysingi) had the right to be penalized for some types of wrongdoing, rather than receiving physical punishment. For a minor offense, the fine for a leysingi was 3/4 mark or the equivalent of 80.37 grams of silver in the 1100s.^{[citation needed]}
