The Succession and Coronation of Magnus Erlingsson UNIVERSITY OF OSLO INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY, CONSERVATION AND HISTORY Dissertation for the degree of Master of Arts: Norwegian Kingship Transformed: the Succession and Coronation of Magnus Erlingsson (Depiction of Magnus Erlingsson, by Gerhard Munthe, 1899) Thomas Malo Tollefsen Spring 2015 1 2 Abstract This dissertation is an exploration of the succession and coronation of Magnus Erlingsson based upon three themes: Norwegian kingship in theory, Norwegian kingship in practise, and Norwegian kingship in context, and a search for points of similarity and contrast with European trends. In the first theme the focus of the analysis will be the coronation of Magnus Erlingsson, exploring this in two parts: the rules of kingmaking and the narration of Snorre in the Saga of Magnus Erlingsson, and motivations behind the coronation. In the second theme the focus will again be on the coronation of Magnus Erlingsson. First, this dissertation attempts to put together a workable timeline from when Magnus is acclaimed king in 1161 to his coronation in either 1163 or 1164. Then the analysis shifts to the coronation itself, before it falls on the coronation oath and the Letter of Privileges to see what they can tell us about Magnus’s kingship, and the Law of Succession and what it meant for the future. In the third theme this dissertation attempts to contextualise Magnus’s kingship and this chapter will focus on two things: acquisition, and by extension how to legitimise your rule once it has been acquired, and succession to kingship. This will be achieved by looking for similarities in two kingdoms of great importance to Norway in this period, namely England and France. Finally, this dissertation concludes that Magnus’s succession and coronation, in a Norwegian context, is exceptional. In a European context Magnus’s kingship appears to fit into the trends of the times. 3 Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................ 3 Abbreviations .................................................................................................................... 5 Introduction ........................................................................................................................ 7 Background and Historiography ......................................................................................... 7 What I am going to do .............................................................................................................. 8 Primary Sources ......................................................................................................................... 9 Theme One: Norwegian Kingship in theory ........................................................ 11 Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 11 The rules of kingmaking ...................................................................................................... 11 Possible motivations for the coronation of Magnus Erlingsson ......................... 28 Theme Two: Norwegian Kingship in practice .................................................... 34 Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 34 Timeline and dating the coronation ................................................................................ 34 The Coronation of King Magnus ....................................................................................... 43 Theme Three: Norwegian Kingship in context .................................................. 62 Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 62 Acquisition of kingship in England and France 1059 to 1189 .............................. 63 Legitimising kingship ............................................................................................................ 67 Conclusion ........................................................................................................................ 75 Bibliography ..................................................................................................................... 81 Primary sources ...................................................................................................................... 81 Secondary sources ................................................................................................................ 82 Online sources ......................................................................................................................... 91 4 Abbreviations DRHH Saxo Grammaticus Danorum Regum Heromque Historia, ed.

Sephton (London: David Nutt, 1899) 6 Introduction Background and Historiography Traditionally the unification of Norway into one kingdom is believed to have happened when Harald the Fairhair won the Battle of Hafrsfjord in 872. Harald is of interest to us in this context because he instituted a new law: “[…] he bestowed the title of “king” on all his sons and put this into the laws that each of his descendants was to inherit a kingdom after his father […]”1 Legitimacy was not an issue and this would have dire consequence for the kingdom. The law by Harald the Fairhair caused an issue because it meant that all male descendants had a legitimate claim on the throne. Up until 1130 it was not uncommon for several rulers to share the kingship but for the next 110 years, from 1130 to 1240, twenty-four people would name themselves king. A change came in 1157, however, when upon the death of one king the remaining followers elected a ten-year-old boy named Håkon as their new leader and figurehead. This election represents a clear change. No longer did the warring parties simply spring up around a king or a pretender, but now they stayed together even after the fall of their leader and they elected a new figurehead for what was a ready-made and organised faction. Good examples of these warring factions that emerged in the late 12th Century are the Birkebeiner (so called because they wrapped the bark of the birch tree around their legs) and the Bagler (named after the Norse bagall from Latin baculum meaning crosier in English). In 1161 Håkon and his followers succeeded in killing his rival King Inge in battle. After his death Inge’s followers gathered and elected as their new figurehead, Magnus son of Erling. Erling Skakke was one of the most prominent leaders of Inge’s faction. Now with the title of Earl, he became the real leader of the faction and the kingdom. The following year they killed Håkon and the year after that another rival to the throne was captured and killed. The actions of Erling and the rest of his party upon the election of Magnus as their leader was a radical one; it broke with one, if not the, traditional principle of who might become king. Magnus was not the son of a king, and as the law of Harald the Fairhair stated that only sons of kings could become a king, Magnus had no legitimate claim on the throne. To compensate for Magnus’s 1 HkrHH, Ch. 33 p. 87 7 short coming the faction, led by his father Erling, entered into an alliance with the Church and the newly erected archdiocese. Together they introduced a new criterion: the king should henceforth be of legitimate birth. Inge had, Magnus was, but every other pretender was born out of wedlock. The alliance with the Church proved to be one other the most important assets to the faction. In 1163 Magnus was anointed and crowned king of Norway, the first king to be so in all of Scandinavia. It is the succession and coronation of Magnus and their implications for the kingship that is the focus of this dissertation. This topic has, in the past, been discussed almost exclusively by Norwegian historians, in Norwegian, which is not a world language. For instance, Professor

While the popular view is often of a barbarous Dark-Ages kingdom, students should recognise that in reality Anglo-Saxon England was prosperous and well governed. They should understand that society was characterised by a hierarchical system of government and they should appreciate the influence of the Church. They should also be aware that while Edward the Confessor was pious and respected, real power in the 1060s lay with the Godwin family and in particular Earl Harold of Wessex. Students should understand events leading up to the death of Edward the Confessor in 1066: Harold Godwinson’s succession as Earl of Wessex on his father’s death in 1053 inheriting the richest earldom in England; his embassy to Normandy and the claims of disputed Norman sources that he pledged allegiance to Duke William; his exiling of his brother Tostig, removing a rival to the throne. Harold’s powerful rival claimants – William of Normandy, Harald Hardrada and Edgar – and their motives should also be covered. Students should understand the range of causes of Harold’s eventual defeat, including the superior generalship of his opponent, Duke William of Normandy, the respective quality of the two armies and Harold’s own mistakes.

    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1152.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Þingvellir National Park DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 7th July 2004 STATE PARTY: ICELAND CRITERIA: C (iii) (vi) CL DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (iii): The Althing and its hinterland, the Þingvellir National Park, represent, through the remains of the assembly ground, the booths for those who attended, and through landscape evidence of settlement extending back possibly to the time the assembly was established, a unique reflection of mediaeval Norse/Germanic culture and one that persisted in essence from its foundation in 980 AD until the 18th century. Criterion (vi): Pride in the strong association of the Althing to mediaeval Germanic/Norse governance, known through the 12th century Icelandic sagas, and reinforced during the fight for independence in the 19th century, have, together with the powerful natural setting of the assembly grounds, given the site iconic status as a shrine for the national. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Þingvellir (Thingvellir) is the National Park where the Althing - an open-air assembly, which represented the whole of Iceland - was established in 930 and continued to meet until 1798. Over two weeks a year, the assembly set laws - seen as a covenant between free men - and settled disputes. The Althing has deep historical and symbolic associations for the people of Iceland. Located on an active volcanic site, the property includes the Þingvellir National Park and the remains of the Althing itself: fragments of around 50 booths built of turf and stone.

  • The Hostages of the Northmen: from the Viking Age to the Middle Ages
    Part IV: Legal Rights It has previously been mentioned how hostages as rituals during peace processes – which in the sources may be described with an ambivalence, or ambiguity – and how people could be used as social capital in different conflicts. It is therefore important to understand how the persons who became hostages were vauled and how their new collective – the new household – responded to its new members and what was crucial for his or her status and participation in the new setting. All this may be related to the legal rights and special privileges, such as the right to wear coat of arms, weapons, or other status symbols. Personal rights could be regu- lated by agreements: oral, written, or even implied. Rights could also be related to the nature of the agreement itself, what kind of peace process the hostage occurred in and the type of hostage. But being a hostage also meant that a person was subjected to restric- tions on freedom and mobility. What did such situations meant for the hostage-taking party? What were their privileges and obli- gations? To answer these questions, a point of departure will be Kosto’s definition of hostages in continental and Mediterranean cultures around during the period 400–1400, when hostages were a form of security for the behaviour of other people. Hostages and law The hostage had its special role in legal contexts that could be related to the discussion in the introduction of the relationship between religion and law. The views on this subject are divided How to cite this book chapter: Olsson, S.

  • Royal Ideology in Fagrskinna
    Háskóli Íslands Íslensku- og Menningardeild Medieval Icelandic Studies Royal Ideology in Fagrskinna A Case Study of Magnús inn blindi. Ritgerð til M.A.-prófs Joshua Wright Kt.: 270194-3629 Leiðbeinandi: Sverrir Jakobsson May 2018 Acknowledgements I owe thanks to too many people to list, but I would be remiss if I did not mention Julian Valle, who encouraged and advised me throughout the process, and Jaka Cuk for his company and council at numerous late night meetings. Dr. Sverrir Jakobsson’s supervision and help from Dr. Torfi H. Tulinius were both indispensable help throughout the process. I owe my wife, Simone, a special thanks for her input, and an apology for keeping her up in our small room as I worked at strange hours. I cannot fully express my debt to my father, David Wright, and my uncle Harold Lambdin, whose urging and encouragement pushed me to try academia in the first place. I dedicate this to my mother, Susanne, who would have loved to see it. ii Abstract: When looking at the political thought of the kings’ sagas, scholarship has overwhelmingly focused on Heimskringla, widely regarded as the most well-written compilation, or on the older Morkinskinna because it is more proximal to the ‘original’ sources. An intermediate source, Fagrskinna, is almost always overlooked, mentioned only in passing by scholars that are more interested in other texts. The limited work that has been done on this source, most prominently by Gustav Indrebø, attracts little attention and Indrebø has remained mostly unchallenged nearly a century after his writing. While there have been systemic analyses of the ideology of these sagas (by Bagge and Ármann Jakobsson, among others) they are only tangentially interested in Fagrskinna, with the result that this work and its unique ideology have been largely unexplored, although its subject matter predisposes it towards contributing to the discussion.

  • Saxo and His Younger Cousin a Study in the Principles Used to Make Gesta Danorum Into Compendium Saxonis
    Saxo and his younger cousin a study in the principles used to make Gesta Danorum into Compendium Saxonis Marko Vitas Supervisor: Arne Jönsson Centre for Language and Literature, Lund University MA in Language and Linguistics, Latin SPVR01 Language and Linguistics: Degree Project – Master's (First Year) Thesis, 15 credits January 2017 Abstract Saxo and his younger cousin a study in the principles used to make Gesta Danorum into Compendium Saxonis The aim of this study is to offer as detailed analysis as possible of the Compendium Saxonis, a late medieval abridgement of the famous historical work Gesta Danorum, written towards the end of the XII century by Saxo Grammaticus. Books I–IV and XVI have been used for this purpose. The study contains an introduction, two chapters and a conclusion. In the introduction, scarce information known about life of Saxo Grammaticus, author of the original work, is summarized and briefly discussed. Further on, general information about Compendium and its dating are referred to. Second part of the introduction deals with the theoretical background concerning ancient and medieval abridged version. In this discussion, we rely on Paul Grice’s Theory of Communication and its reinterpretation by Markus Dubischar. In the First chapter, called Treatment of the content of Gesta Danorum in the Compendium Saxonis we analyse the way the author of the shorter version dealt with the content of the original. Particular attention is payed to the abridgment’s treatment of four distinct episode types frequent in the original. These are episodes pertaining to the supernatural, episodes pertaining to the moral and didactical issues, episodes pertaining to the upbringing, legal activity and death of a Danish king and episodes pertaining to war and destruction.
