‎Scarce first edition of all the minutes from Norway's Constitutional Assembly, immediately leading to the first Norwegian Constitution of May 17, 1814. It was adopted on 16 May and signed on 17 May 1814 by the Norwegian Constituent Assembly at Eidsvoll. The latter date is the National Day of Norway. It is the fourth oldest written single-document national constitution in Europe after the Constitution of Poland, the French constitution of 1791, and the Spanish Constitution of 1812. The document is also the second oldest working national constitution in the world, after the Constitution of the United States. “On 10 April 1814 a national assembly consisting of 112 elected representatives met together at Eidsvoll, convened by the Regent of Norway, Christian Frederik. Their task was to draw up a new constitution, since Norway had become an independent kingdom and no longer part of Denmark.It soon became obvious that the assembly was divided: one party favoured union with Sweden and the other favoured independence. The advocates of union, led by Count Wedel Jarlsberg, felt that it would not be possible for Norway to retain its independence without the support of the major European powers. They argued that it would be better to negotiate with Sweden on the best possible conditions for union.The independence party supported Christian Frederik, who maintained that Norway should be an independent nation. It was this party, led by Christian Falsen and Professor Georg Sverderup, that held the majority in the assembly.” (The Royal House of Norway) On April 12, a special committee led by Christian Falsen was established to draft the new constitution. The committee presented its proposal outlining the core principles to the assembly just four days later, where the majority of provisions were widely accepted.The constitution defined Norway as a free and independent. It assigned executive power to the King, legislative authority to a popularly elected national assembly and judicial power to independent courts. Freedom of religion and freedom of the press were also included.On May 17, 1814, the Constitution was formally adopted, and the assembly unanimously elected Christian Frederik as Norway’s first king in nearly 500 years. “However, the Swedish Crown Prince, Carl Johan, refused to accept Norway’s independence since under the Treaty of Kiel Denmark had ceded Norway to Sweden. On 29 July Swedish troops marched into Norway and rapidly put down the Norwegian resistance. On 14 August both parties signed the Convention of Moss, under the terms of which Christian Frederik had to surrender the Norwegian throne. The King of Sweden agreed to accept the Eidsvoll constitution, amended only to take account of the union with Sweden. On 4 November, after the Norwegian national assembly had adopted the amended Constitution, Carl XIII of Sweden became Carl II of Norway.” (Ibid.). The constitution was a very radical one for its time. Instead of being concentrated in the person of an autocratic king, power was divided between the king, the courts and a popularly elected national assembly. The king had the executive power and the national assembly the legislative power. Almost half the male population had the right to vote.‎

What did Sigurd Jorsalfer do between 1108 when barely eighteen years old he left Bergen with a fleet of sixty ships and a thousand men and his return from the Crusade four years later with one ship? He went to England to Mont-Saint-Michel to Santiago de Compostela conquered Lisbon the Balearics went to the court of Sicily to Alexandria in the Holy Land where the patriarch of Jerusalem gave him a piece of the True Cross. On the way back he made a detour through Constantinople to be greeted with pomp by the emperor Alexios. In parallel here is the story of Amina Arslan a Muslim refugee in Jerusalem who narrowly avoids being massacred by Christians. With her father who claims to be converted she flees the Holy Land and goes to settle in Constantinople. This is where she meets Sigurd. A love as intense as it is brief will unite the Norwegian king - the defender of the True Faith carrying a relic that Amina knows to be false - and Amina who has never renounced his Muslim faith. A novel that mixes the breath of history with a passionate exploration of contemporary issues: the coexistence of religions and sometimes fanaticism and intolerance.

‎Legitimation of the Elites in High Medieval Poland and Norway Comparative Studies‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 Hardback, Pages: 483 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:8 b/w, 34 col, 1 tables b/w., 3 maps b/w, Language:English, *new. ISBN 9782503611617.‎

‎Between the years 1000 and 1300, the two developing polities of Norway and Poland often followed similar trends. Both realms were located on what was considered the periphery of Europe, both joined Latin Christendom ? and with it, the wider sphere of European cultural influence ? at the turn of the first millennium, and both, by the end of the thirteenth century, had largely coalesced as stable kingdoms. Yet while the histories of these two countries have long been studied along national lines, it remains rarer for them to be considered outside of their traditional geographical context, and studied via comparison with events elsewhere. This innovative volume seeks to explore the means and uses of symbolic power that were employed by religiopolitical elites in order to assert their legitimacy and dominance by taking an explicitly comparative approach and dual perspective on these two polities. What stories did elites tell themselves and others about their deservedness to rule, what spaces and objects did they utilize in order to project their elevated status, and how did struggle and rivalry form part of their societal dominance? Formed from chapters co-written by experts in Polish and Norwegian history, this unique volume not only reflects on the similarities and differences between events in these two polities, but also more broadly offers conceptual tools and comparative frameworks that can enhance our wider understanding of the conditions and factors that shaped religiopolitical behaviour on the peripheries.
