Making Christian Rulership on the Peripheries of the Latin World
This article explores the introduction and consolidation of Christian rulership ideology in medieval Poland and Norway. Both realms started to be integrated into the Christian European culture around the turn of the first millennium, marked by the introduction of Christianity and the establishment of a kingdom with a Christian rulership ideology imported from Latin Europe. However, the adoption of this ideology and its repercussions were substant…
Introduction
In this introduction, we argue that the key to understanding the means and dynamics of political order in the peripheral polities during the era of Europeanization (1000–1300) lies in exploring the practices of (self-)legitimisation by the peripheral elites in Poland and Norway. The article proposes a novel agenda-setting theoretical and methodological framework for how medievalists can study elite legitimation and relations between core European…

Violence, Conflict and Order in Medieval Norway
Juxtaposing violence and order sounds like a contradiction in terms. Our modern concept of violence is intrinsically linked to illegitimacy and the disruption of order. This concept is succinctly expressed in the definition of a state by Max Weber, as the instance that has a monopoly on the exercise of legitimate violence, thus making all forms of private violence illegitimate. However, the antithesis between violence and order goes much further …
Anger in Court
This article investigates the relationship between law and ritual through an analysis of Sverris saga’s account of a conflict between King Sverrir Sigurðarson of Norway and the Orcadian Earl Haraldr Maddaðarson. The case was adjudicated in a court trial in 1195 but it can also be interpreted as a ritual playing on a spectre of other norms and expectations. First, it invoked a religious vocabulary of repentance and supplication. Second, it played …
Håkon, Skule og de norske borgerkrigene
Artikkelen diskuterer forholdet mellom kong Håkon Håkonsson og jarlen Skule Bårdsson, som ledet fram til Skules opprør i 1239–40 og avsluttet borgerkrigene (ca. 1130–1240) i Norge. Artikkelen tilbakeviser Sverre Bagges forklaring (HT 3/2020) om at kong Håkons seier var et resultat av at han hadde større institusjonell legitimitet enn sin utfordrer. Det gis to argumenter mot denne tolkningen: at Skule led et langt mer avgjørende militært nederlag …

Settlement and Lordship in Viking and Early Medieval Scandinavia
This anthology has an ambitious scope: to bridge or diminish the gap between history and archaeology, between Viking Age and medieval studies, and between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe. Formul
Disputing Strategies in Medieval Scandinavia
The book discusses how conflicts were handled in medieval Scandinavia. Using practice as analytical concept, the authors explore law and litigation in conjunction with non-formal legal proceedings such as out-of-court mediation, rituals, emotional posturing, and feuding.
The Magical Reality of the Late Middle Ages
This article looks at some sources seldom used by historians studying the late Middle Ages: fornaldarsögur (legendary sagas). It argues that these sources can offer new perspectives on Old Norse culture in this period. This is illustrated by an analysis of how magic is described in four fornaldarsögur labelled the Hrafnista sagas from the late 15th-century manuscript AM 343a 4to. These sagas attest to what has been called ‘a magical world-view’ o…
