  Storting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As Norway became unified as a geopolitical entity in the 10th century the lagtings were established as superior regional assemblies.
The archaic regional assemblies, the Frostating, the Gulating and the Eidsivating were amalgamated and the corpus of law was setdown under the command of King Magnus Lagabøte during the mid 13th century.
The Storting's Presidium is chaired by the President of the Storting and consists of the Presidents and Vice Presidents of the Storting, the Lagting and the Odelsting.

In the process of passing legislation, the Storting is divided into two chambers, the Odelsting and the Lagting.
Proportional party representation is approximately the same in both the Odelsting and Lagting, so votes in the Lagting seldom go against the decision of the Odelsting.
Sometimes the Lagting votes to reject or to drop a bill, and bills which finally pass both the Odelsting and the Lagting may often differ substantially from the original proposition submitted by the Government.
