yeah, that's pretty much according to what i've know about it.

i too find it interesting that the "germanic" law was quite "nice" for the individual compared to roman law. most things handled with fines which were according to how wealthy you were.

i think those things might be due to that you pretty much required everyone in the environment scandinavia is. no point in hanging someone if you then are in dire need of the workforce. no point in being shitty to women if you can barely make it through the winter. better to work together as best as possible.
