Knattleikr (English. ''Ball game'') is an ancient ball game played by the Vikings of Iceland. ==How the game was played== Today no one knows the game's exact rules but there is some information.〔http://www.broomball.com.au/ancienthistory.shtml〕 We know that: *Players were divided into teams. *A hard ball was hit by a stick. *The players could also use their hands. *Body contact was allowed in the fight for the ball where the strongest had the best chance to win. *It was a spectator game, with tournaments drawing huge crowds from all over Iceland. *Intimidation was a vital ingredient, several wars of words have been recorded in the old sagas. *The game demanded so much time that it was played from morning to night. *There was a captain on each team. *There were penalties and a penalty box. It is conjectured by some that: *The playing field was lined, usually played on a flat ice‐covered surface. (Though bumpy land‐based ice, ''svell,'' is mentioned too.) *The Vikings may have used tar and sand under the soles of their boots for traction. The game was probably similar to the Irish sport of hurling. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Knattleikr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
