HISTORY

The history of Norway before the age of the Vikingsis indistinct from that of the rest of Scandinavia. Inthe 9th cent. the country was still divided among the numerous petty kings of the fylker.Harold I, of theYngling or Scilfing dynasty (which claimed descent from one of the old Norse gods), defeated the pettykings (c.900) and conquered the Shetlands and the Orkneys, but failed to establish permanent unity.Harold's campaigns drove many nobles and their followers to settle in Iceland and France. In the nexttwo centuries Norsemen raided widely in W Europe and established the Norse duchy of Normandy.Harold himself concentrated on developing a dynasty; before he died (c.935) the country was dividedamong his sons, but one of them, Haakon I, defeated (c.935) his brothers and temporarily reunited thekingdom.

Christianity, brought by English missionaries, gained a foothold under Olaf Iand was establishedby Olaf II(reigned 1015-28). Olaf II was driven out of Norway by King Canute of England and Denmark,in league with discontented Norwegian nobles; however, his son, Magnus I, was restored (1035) to theNorwegian throne. Both Magnus and his successor, Harold III, played a vital part in the complex eventsthen taking place in England and Denmark. After Harold died while invading England (1066), Norwayentered a period of decline and civil war, precipitated by conflicting claims to the throne.

Among the major events of 12th-century Norwegian history were the mission of Nicholas Breakspear(later PopeAdrian IV), who organized the Norwegian hierarchy, and the rule of Sverre, who created anew nobility grounded in commerce and, with the help of the popular party, the Birkebeiner,

consolidated the royal power. His grandson,Haakon IV, was put on the throne by the Birkebeiner in1217; under him and under Magnus VI(reigned 1263-80) medieval Norway reached its greatestflowering and enjoyed peace and prosperity. During this time Iceland and Greenland recognizedNorwegian rule.
