HISTORY OF THE CHURCH AND STATE IN NORWAY FROM THE TENTH TO THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY BY THOMAS B. WILLSON, M.A. WESTMINSTER ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO Ltd Z WHITEHALL GARDENS 1903 h.s-iom--^ BBADBQEy, AGNEW, & CO. LD., PRINTER LONDON AND TONBHIDOE- PEEFACE. English readers are more or less familiar with the most striking events in the history of Norway in the heroic days, but so far as I have been able to discover, no English writer has endeavoured to trace the history of the Church in Norway, from its foundation in the time of Olaf Tryg- vess0n, down to the period of the Keformation. If I am correct in this, the omission seems a strange one, as the Church in Norway was the only daughter of that of England to be found in Europe. Her missionaries, it is true, laboured in many parts of the Continent, but I think that in no country, except Norway, could it be said, that they helped to found and nurture a national Church, where none before existed. Under these circumstances, I have for a long time wished to supply English readers with a history of this Church; and a close acquaintance with Norway, extending over thirty years, makes it, I hope, not altogether presumptuous to attempt the task. With this object in view, I obtained, some ten years ago (through my friend, the late Pastor Andreas Hansen), the kind permission of Dr. A. Chr. Bang, now Bishop of Christiania, to translate his valuable Udsigt over den Norshe Kirkes Historic under Katholicismen. Further consideration, however, showed me that this work presupposed an acquaintance with the history of the Norwegian Church, such as few English readers possessed, and which was necessary in order fully to appreciate this valuable survey. I felt, therefore, that a history of the Church on broad lines, and avoiding mere technical details. vi PEEFACE. might prove of interest, and so the present work was undertaken. Further study of the subject led me to call this book a " History of the Church and State in Norway," as I think it will be found that in Norway, Church and State were more closely connected than in any other country in Europe. As the work is indeed primarily a history of Norway from its ecclesiastical side, I have therefore not followed more closely than it seemed necessary, the various purely civil events and the warlike expeditions to other lands in the early days. The main object I have had in view was to trace the history of the growth, development, vigorous life, and subsequent decline and fall of that Church, of which the foundations were mainly laid by the English fellow-helpers of Olaf Trygvess0n and Olaf the Saint, at the end of the tenth and beginning of the eleventh centuries. I have further wished to show the way in which that Church was related to the State, and the struggle which it had for supremacy, closely akin to that carried on about the same time in other countries of Europe. The story is a deeply interesting one, and in this I hope the reader will agree with me. If not, then the fault is that of the narrator, and not of the events narrated. Elsewhere will be found a fairly comprehensive list of authorities employed ; but I wish to acknowledge fuUy my obligations to my predecessors who have written on this subject in modern times, especially to the writings of such wonderful learning and research as those of the late Professor Rudolf Keyser in Den Norshe Kirkes Historie under Katholicismeii, Dr. Konrad Maurer in Die Behehrung des Norwegischen Stammes zum Christenthume, and to the more recent works of Bishop Bang, Absalon Taranger, A. D. J0rgensen, and the late Professor Dr. R. T. Nissen. PEEFACE. vii Lastly, I must express my gratitude to those who have assisted me in the preparation of this work, especially to Professor Dr. Yngvar Nielsen, Rector of the University of Christiania, for advice respecting original authorities and also for much useful information ; to Pastor S. Hoist Jensen, for reading the proofs of the entire work, and for many valuable suggestions and corrections ; to the Very Rev. G. W. Kitchen, D.D., Dean of Durham, for advice on many points ; to Mr. Clement 0. Skilbeck, for his admirable picture for the title page, of St. Olaf and his design for the cover ; to Herr Konservator H. Schetelig and the autho- rities of the Bergen Museum, for permission to photograph some of their antiquarian treasures ; to my son, Mr. Olaf Willson, B.A., for many references in English and foreign authorities, for his appendix on the Norwegian stavhirlcer, and for the index ; and above all, to my wife, without whose unfailing aid and encouragement this work would probably never have been completed.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

This is a fourteenth century depiction of the royal martyr saints on a rood screen in Catfield Church, Norfolk) ii © Samuel Patrick Bidwell 2017 Across the North Sea and Back Again: A Comparative Study between the Cults of St. Olav and St. Edmund Samuel Patrick Bidwell http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo iii Abstract The medieval cult of saints community was a dense, pervasive network that spread across the vast expanse of Latin Christendom. Saints were international in nature and as such could be easily transported to other geographical regions and integrated into the local culture. This thesis comparatively analyses the cults of St. Olav and St. Edmund and their respective primary hagiographical texts. The aim of this study is to determine to what extent Archbishop Eystein Erlendsson constructed his twelfth century text, Passio et miracula Beati Olavi, with reference to the hagiographical motifs surrounding the cult of St. Edmund and its central manuscript, Passio Sancti Edmundi. The interconnectedness of the cults of these royal martyr saints will be discussed in relation to dynastic promotion and royal patronage, their portrayal as both saints and warriors, shared miracles and exile.

  • KIERKEGAARD and HOW HE CAN CHALLENGE US TODAY March, 30, 2014 Andrés Roberto Albertsen
    1 KIERKEGAARD AND HOW HE CAN CHALLENGE US TODAY March, 30, 2014 Andrés Roberto Albertsen 1) Some biographical data Søren Aabye Kierkegaard was born May 5, 1813, Copenhagen, Denmark, as the youngest of seven children of the second marriage of his father. He died November 11, 1855, Copenhagen. The story of his life is a drama in four overlapping acts, each with its own distinctive crisis or “collision.” His father, Michael Pedersen Kierkegaard, was a prosperous but retired businessman who devoted the later years of his life to raising his children. He was a man of deep guilt-ridden piety who was tormented by the memory of having once cursed God as a boy and of having begun his family by getting his maid pregnant—and then marrying her— shortly after the death of his first wife. His domineering presence stimulated young Søren’s imaginative and intellectual gifts but, as his son would later bear witness, he made a normal childhood impossible. Kierkegaard enrolled at the University of Copenhagen in 1830 but did not complete his studies until 1841. He entered university in order to study theology but devoted himself to literature and philosophy instead. His thinking during this period is revealed in an 1835 journal entry (by the way, Kierkegaard was a prolific writer of personal journals and they have all been published), which is often cited as containing the germ and initial form of his later work: “The thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die.…What is truth but to live for an idea?” The first collision of Kierkegaard’s life occurred during his student days: he became estranged both from his father and from the faith in which he had 2 been brought up, and he moved out of the family home.

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.

  • 465 Relationship Between Political and Economic Self-Determination
    465 Relationship between Political and Economic Self-Determination. * The Faeroese Case ARNI OLAFSSON Advisor on Faeroe Islands Affairts to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs 1. Basics about the Faeroe Islands The Faeroe Islands are an archipelago of 1400 sq km, lying in the North East Atlantic Ocean between Britain, Norway and Iceland. The population is approx. 44,000. About one third of the population lives in the capital, T6rshavn. The others are scattered in a hundred small towns, villages and settlements in 17 of the 18 islands. The Faeroese regard themselves as a distinct people or nation, with their own language, history, traditions, institutions, sense of unity and national identity. Seen in the context of the total Kingdom of Denmark, the Faeroese - like the Greenlanders - can legally and statistically be viewed as a national minority. However, for all political and practical purposes that is not the appropriate way to look at it. The Faeroese are themselves the overwhelming majority within their own geographically well-defined territory: The Faeroe Islands. To a considerable extent, that will also be true of the Greenlanders. Whether the Faeroese qualify for the term "indigenous peoples" may be discussed in another context. The Faeroe Islands have autonomy within the Kingdom of Denmark. Au- tonomies form a very varied category. We shall in the following take a closer look at the Faeroese case. One can ask, why the Faeroe Islands are constitutionally connected with far-away Denmark. That is the result of a specific historical development. * Opinions expressed in this article are the author's own and do not represent official views of Faeroese or Danish authorities.
