mead hall
In ancient Scandinavia and Germanic Europe a mead hall or feasting hall was initially simply a large building with a single room. From the fifth century to early medieval times such a building was the residence of a lord and his retainers. The mead hall was generally the great hall of the king.
==Etymology==
The old name of such halls may have been ''sal/salr'' and thus be present in old place names such as "Uppsala".〔Brink, Stefan, 1996. Political and Social Structures in Early Scandinavia. A Settlement-historical Pre-study of the Central Place.〕 The meaning has been preserved in German ''Saal'', Romanian ''Sala'', Dutch ''zaal'', Icelandic ''salur'', Swedish, Norwegian and Danish ''sal'', Lithuanian ''salė'', Finnish ''sali'', French ''salle'', Italian/Polish/Spanish ''sala'' and Russian ''зал''(zal), (all meaning "hall" or "large room"). In Old English, ''sele'' and ''sæl'' were used. These words are etymologically related to the modern English words ''salon'' and ''saloon''.
