Are you referring to Icelandic Commonwealth? They had a parliament of sorts, Alþingi, which was started in 930 and lasted until 1262 where (afaik) disputes could be settled and agreements reached between different chieftains and so on.
I just visited Þingvellir myself (the place the parliament was founded) on vacation
