It is the grave church of St. Olav, the patron Saint of Norway and has now become one of Europe’s major historical pilgrim destinations. Nidaros Cathedral is also where coronations and royal blessings take place. The cathedral is mainly built in soapstone. It is located on the foundations of former churches, and the oldest standing parts of the church, the transepts, are from about 1160-70. The church is rebuilt with brick vaults over the choir and western nave, and across the archways under the triforium. The copper-covered roof is carried by steel structures with the exception of the transepts, the chapter house and the extended chapels in the transepts which all have pure wood structures in the roof.

  • Guidebooks on the Norwegian St. Olav Ways and the Heritagization of Religion
    Numen 67 (2020) 508–536 brill.com/nu How to Be a Pilgrim: Guidebooks on the Norwegian St. Olav Ways and the Heritagization of Religion Dirk Johannsen Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway [email protected] Ane Ohrvik Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway [email protected] Abstract The Norwegian St. Olav Ways are currently the largest Northern European project re- institutionalizing pilgrimage as cultural heritage, providing a new framework for ver- nacular religious practices to a wide audience. In this article we approach the current pilgrimage revival in Northern Europe as part of a trend toward a heritagization of religion that allows new religious self-understandings to emerge. We analyze pilgrim guidebooks to the St. Olav Ways with regard to their narrative scripts, detailing how they can create expectations, inform the pilgrims’ conduct, and direct their attention toward a history that translates into a heritage. Based on a corpus of published pilgrim journals and diaries, we argue that the guidebooks instruct a process of interpretive drift, which influence the pilgrims toward embracing and embodying a new role with- in the religious field. The guidebooks invite the pilgrims to take on the role of heirs to a medieval European tradition.

His reign was marked by aggressive military campaigns and conquest, particularly in the Norse-dominated parts of the British Isles, where he extended his rule to the Kingdom of the Isles and Dublin. His daughter, Ragnhild, was born in 1090. As the only son of King Olaf Kyrre, Magnus was proclaimed king in southeastern Norway shortly after his father's death in 1093. In the north, his claim was contested by his cousin, Haakon Magnusson (son of King Magnus Haraldsson), and the two co-ruled uneasily until Haakon's death in 1095.

  • Medieval Monastery Gardens in Iceland and Norway
    religions Article Medieval Monastery Gardens in Iceland and Norway Per Arvid Åsen Natural History Museum and Botanical Garden, University of Agder, 4604 Kristiansand, Norway; [email protected] Abstract: Gardening was an important part of the daily duties within several of the religious orders in Europe during the Middle Ages. The rule of Saint Benedict specified that the monastery should, if possible, contain a garden within itself, and before and above all things, special care should be taken of the sick, so that they may be served in very deed, as Christ himself. The cultivation of medicinal and utility plants was important to meet the material needs of the monastic institutions, but no physical garden has yet been found and excavated in either Scandinavia or Iceland. The Cistercians were particularly well known for being pioneer gardeners, but other orders like the Benedictines and Augustinians also practised gardening. The monasteries and nunneries operating in Iceland during medieval times are assumed to have belonged to either the Augustinian or the Benedictine orders. In Norway, some of the orders were the Dominicans, Fransiscans, Premonstratensians and Knights Hospitallers. Based on botanical investigations at all the Icelandic and Norwegian monastery sites, it is concluded that many of the plants found may have a medieval past as medicinal and utility plants and, with all the evidence combined, they were most probably cultivated in monastery gardens. Keywords: medieval gardening; horticulture; monastery garden; herb; relict plants; medicinal plants Citation: Åsen, Per Arvid. 2021. Medieval Monastery Gardens in 1. Introduction Iceland and Norway.

  • The Case of King Sverrir of Norway
    Bjørn Bandlien Multiple Spaces, Multiple Selves? The Case of King Sverrir of Norway Abstract: This article discusses the ways King Sverrir Sigurðarson of Norway (r. 1177–1202) perceived and represented himself. It seeks to move beyond the debate on whether he was mainly a leader of warriors who sought recognition for martial honor and success at the battlefield, or whether he consciously used Biblical and hagiographic references to imitate King David and St. Óláfr, the patron saint of Norway. Instead, by taking departure from the concepts of social spaces (Bourdieu) and cultural hybridity (Bakhtin and Young), it is ar- gued that King Sverrir moved between various discourses of the self. This is mostly based on the main sources to Sverrir’slife,Sverris saga,butalsothe seal of Sverrir is analysed. The seal is seen as a multivocal expression of the royal self, speaking to several audiences. Keywords: social spaces, seals, political culture, cultural hybridity, Sverrir Sigurðarson The life of Sverrir, self-proclaimed son of King Sigurðr munnr Haraldsson (r. 1136–1155) and king of Norway from 1177 until his death in 1202, was truly wor- thy of a saga. Sverris saga is wholly devoted to the life and turbulent career of Sverrir, emphasizing his many battles and conflicts with numerous, and seem- ingly superior, opponents. The saga states that he grew up in the Faroe Isles as the son of a combmaker and his Norwegian wife. Being raised and educated by his uncle Hrói, bishop of the Faroes, he had possibly been ordained a priest by his early twenties. His mother, however, had concealed who his real father was, and during a pilgrimage to Rome she met the Pope and confessed to him that King Sigurðr munnr was Sverrir’s real father.
