 Table of Contents and Excerpt, Lehman, Beowulf
Since plunder and gifts were presented to the chief, as Beowulf gives those from Hrothgar to Hygelac, these were not only passed along to new members of the household, but also became part of the tribal hoard, like that the dragon presides over.
Yet the hero's father was Swedish, although he marries the Geatish King Hrethel's daughter, as Hrothgar the Dane's sister is married off to the Swedish prince Onela, both princesses probably to cement friendship between warring nations.

 OMACL: Heimskringla: Saga of Olaf Haraldson: Part II
The Swedish king took it much amiss that Olaf the Thick had set himself down in his scat-lands, and driven the earl out of them, and therefore he threatened the king with his heaviest vengeance when opportunity offered.
Thorgaut took all their goods, and King Olaf's, and he and his comrades divided the booty among them equally; but he said the Swedish king ought to have the precious articles of King Olaf, as these, he said, should be considered as part of the scat due to him from Norway.
Although the Swedish king's anger should be incurred, and our power and property be at stake, yet will I rather run the risk, than that it should be said the message of King Olaf was neglected from fear of the Swedish king.

But overall, throughout the tsarist period, to a larger extent than in the rest of Europe, as Panin famously put it, Russia was governed not by ‘the authority of state institutions’, but by ‘the power of persons’ (quoted in Florinsky 1955: 456).
Having broken away from the overlordship of the church, these emerging states ‘reimagined’ the world; ‘the moral purpose of the state was defined as the preservation of a divinely ordained, rigidly hierarchical social order.
To fulfil this purpose, monarchs were endowed with supreme authority – their commands were law [and law was first and foremost command rather than an outcome of negotiation, enacted ritual, codification, or the like].
