    EUROPEAN HERITAGE HEADS Newsletter FORUM # 05 / March 2013 Dear colleagues I am looking forward to greeting you in Oslo in May! In this newsletter you will find infor- mation on the programme for the EHHF meeting, from May 22 (evening) to May 24th and information on how to register. We have included news on developments in the European Cultural Heritage sector pertaining to our meeting in May. If you wish to bring your partner or spouse I am happy to welcome them to all meals and excursions. Please notify us of this when you register and please register as soon as possible. The programme for this year’s meeting is focused on two topics. The first, which we will discuss among ourselves, is the organization of the EHHF and the creation of an EHHF Secretariat. The second topic is the cooperation with the NGO sector to improve dialogue and cooperation with civil society to build a more cooperative cultural heritage management policy. A number of guests are invited to discuss this with us. We are still working to com- plete the details. I am also pleased to have accommodated interesting technical excursions. On the evening of the 22nd we shall meet for a welcome reception at the new Opera building, which was inaugurated in 2008 and listed in 2012. In the afternoon of the 23rd we will take the boat to Bygdøy. Here we will have lunch and afterwards visit the Stave Church, the excavated Viking ships and historic buildings from the middle ages up to the 19th century. The dinner will be in the historic Akershus Castle and hosted by the Minister of Environ- ment.

  • Swedish Royal Ancestry Book 2 Folkunga Dynasty 1250-1523
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY SWEDISH ROYAL ANCESTRY Book 2 – Folkunga Dynasty (1250 - 1523) INTRODUCTION Our Swedish ancestry is quite comprehensive as it covers a broad range of the history. For simplicity the information has been presented in four different books. Book 1 – Mythical to Viking Era (? – 1250) Book 2 – Folkunga Dynasty (1250 – 1523) Book 3 – Vasa Dynasty (1523 – 1751) Book 4 – Recent Royalty (1751 – Present) This Book 2 begins with the Regent Birger jarl, who married the daughter of King Erik X, my 22nd great grandfather, listed in Book 1. Birger jarl’s grandfather, Bengt Folkesson Folkunga, is my 23rd great grandfather. Unlike Book 1 the persons here do not follow just one lineage, but come from three different lineages. King Karl VIII has no direct ancestors here, he is the 5th great grandson of King Erik X in Book 1. Our direct lineage does not follow these persons so for this reason they are cousins, except King Karl VIII.

  • The Coins of Sweden
    THE COINS OF SWEDEN To Queen Christina By David Ruckser Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. It has borders with Norway (west and north) and Finland (northeast). It has been a member of the European Union since January 1, 1995. Its capital city is Stockholm. At 449,964 km² (173,720 square miles), Sweden is the third largest country by area in Western Europe and fifth in all of Europe. Sweden has a low population density of 20 people per square kilometre, except in its metropolitan areas; 84% of the popula- tion lives in urban areas, which comprise only 1.3% of the country's total land area so that's about 1,300 people per square kilometre (3,400 per square mile) in urban areas. The inhabitants of Sweden enjoy a high standard of living, and the country is generally perceived as modern and liberal, with an organisational and corporate cul- ture that is non-hierarchical and collectivist compared to its Anglo-Saxon counter- parts.[3] Nature conservation, environmental protection and energy efficiency are generally prioritized in policy making and embraced by the general public in Sweden. Sweden has long been a major exporter of iron, copper and timber. Improved trans- portation and communication has allowed for the large scale utilization of remote nat- ural assets, most notably timber and iron ore. In the 1890s, universal schooling and industrialization enabled the country to devel- op a successful manufacturing industry and by the twentieth century, Sweden emerged as a welfare state, consistently achieving high positions among the top-ranking countries in the UN Human Development Index (HDI).

    ln retrospect The re8toration of Aker8hu8 Ca8tle, 08101 DAG MyKLEBUST I This paper is parrly based on my research for an unpub- lishcd thesis entitled ' Akers- hus Slotts Restaurering 1895 1922', presented at The University of Oslo in 1979 for the mogister ortium degree. l am greatly indebted to Mrs Erla Bergendahl Hohler, Mr Lars Midthaug and above aIl Miss Dorothy Telfer for their gencrous and heroic elforts to improve my English. FIG. 1. The banqueting hall in the North Wing linished in 1917, seen from the east. Monumentum 25 (4) 275-292, 1982 276 Approaching Oslo by sea, you will notice that one of the most characteristic features of the harbour front of the town is the medieval castle of Akershus (Fig. 2). This is situated right in the centre of the Norwegian capital, and its structure rises to an impressive height above sea level. Today its silhouette is rivalled by the twin towers of the Town Hall; but in the first half of the last century, when Oslo was called Christiania and mostly consisted of two-storeyed buildings, the impact of the castle was even more striking. This was the way the writer Henrik Ibsen first saw it when he sailed into Christiania in 1848. One of the earliestpoems he published was called , At Akershus' and in it he imagines the castle inhabited by famous characters from the history of Norway. But alas, this is aIl past; nothing remains, and the poet is brought back to the present by the shouts of the guards froril the prison housed at Akershus in Ibsen's days.
