 Odin Archive - Consecration of the King in the Nidaros Cathedral   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In the process of unifying Norway into a single kingdom, which took place during the period from 900 to 1030, the many royal pretenders of the Fairhair line soon felt the need for a national assembly to hail the high king of the realm.
To be sure, this law never achieved the force of law in Norway, but the laws of royal succession enacted in the 13th century reiterated the designation of the Øyrating as the national assembly for hailing the king of the realm.
The custom in Norway of making these journeys to receive the homage of the people is reminiscent of the Eriksgatan in Sweden, which always took place between the hailing of a king and his coronation in Uppsala.

 Oslo Overview | Oslo City Guide | iExplore.com
Following construction of the imposing castle and fortress of Akershus Slott, by Håkon V Magnusson, in the late 13th century, Oslo’s importance grew and it developed into a major trading center, dealing primarily with Germany and central Europe.
United with Denmark, from 1380 to 1814, and from then on with Sweden, Norway finally gained independence in 1905, and Oslo is to stage a major arts festival in June 2005 to mark this centenary (see Special Events).
The best approach to Oslo is by sea, sailing up the fjord (where shrimpers and small sailing boats jostle with ferries and merchant ships) to where the city sprawls out from its compact center around the quays to the flanks of the surrounding hills.
