	Haakon VII of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		King Haakon VII of Norway, Christian Frederik Carl Georg Valdemar Axel (August 3, 1872–September 21, 1957) was the first King of Norway after the dissolution of the personal union with Sweden in 1905.
		After a referendum confirmed the newly-independent Norway as a monarchy, Prince Carl became its king on November 18, 1905, succeeding his great-uncle, the deposed Oscar II of Norway on that throne and was crowned as Haakon VII in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim on June 22, 1906.
		Today, King Haakon is by many regarded as one of the greatest Norwegian politicians of the pre-war period, managing to hold his young and fragile country together in unstable political conditions.

	Olaf II of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Olaf II Haraldsson (995 – July 29 1030), king from 1015–1028, (known during his lifetime as the Stout and after his death as Saint Olaf), was born in the year in which Olaf Tryggvasson came to Norway.
		Owing to Olaf's later status as the patron saint of Norway, and to his importance in later medieval historiography and in Norwegian folklore, it is difficult to assess the character of the historical Olaf.
		Three factors are important: his role in the christianization of Norway, the various dynastic relationships among the ruling families, and the needs for legitimization in a later period.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Norway
		Norway, comprising the smaller division of the Scandinavian peninsula, is bounded on the east by Lapland and Sweden, and on the west by the Atlantic.
		As regards territorial development in the Middle Ages, Norway had a number of tributary provinces--in the north, Finmark, inhabited by heathen Lapps; various groups of islands south-west of Norway as: the Farve Islands, the Orkneys, the Shetlands, and the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, to which were added later Iceland and Greenland.
		Christian's son, Frederick II (1559-88), paid no attention to Norway, but much was done for the country during the long reign of Christian IV (1588-1648), who endeavoured to develop the country by encouraging mining at Konsberg and Röraas, and to protect it from attack by improving the army.

	In Honor of King Oscar II of Norway by Jørn K. Baltzersen
		To say that Norway seceded from Denmark is probably much more accurate, although that claim is also debatable, since it was Frederik VI who handed over the Kingdom of Norway to the King of Sweden.
		Norway and Sweden have a peculiar phenomenon called "power research projects." These are government projects initiated at the top political level to research on who has power in society.
		We see that Oscar II was one of those monarchs, as Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn told us, who relinquished their powers with little opposition.

		It is an amazing study of military incompetence on the part of Norway, Britain and France, and substantial competence on the part of the Germans.
		At the top of the list of narratives involving this theatre lies Kersaudy's book, a marvelous overview of the Norway campaign from conception to conclusion, with emphasis placed on the staggering of the allies who are shown to have acted in alarming incompetence throughout the campaign.
		Observing their inaptitude for defending Norway and the disorganized and ineffective strategies that changed day by day with contrasting orders being given to different commanders, one cannot help but develop a sympathy for the overwhelmed and disrespected Norwegians.
