During the viking age, there was no capital in Iceland, Iceland was an independent republic, with a lot of farms owned by different families (with slaves). One usual place to meet was the Althing, the old assembly east from the present Reykjavik. There was not farms which was more influent than other, this situation is right during the viking period (900-1100) in Iceland, after this the government was more centralized but only by farm bosses (Jarls). After this, the capital was... Copenhagen in Danemark.Actually Reykjavik is the capital of iceland since 1786.
