  Nidaros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nidaros was the old name of Trondheim (Trond(h)jem, sometimes Drontheim), a city of Norway, in the Middle Ages.
Nidaros was Northern Europe's most important Christian pilgrimage site during this time, the pilgrims' goal being the Nidaros Cathedral, established as the seat of the archdiocese of all Norway in 1152 by Nicholas Breakspeare, who later became the only English pope as Adrian IV.
Nidaros (modern Trondhjem), the metropolis of the ecclesiastical province, was also the royal capital of Norway.

The two most important issues that continue to cause debate among historians are Bishop Reidar's journey to Rome in 1150 and the exact date of the erection of the Archdiocese.
He writes that it is an open question whether or not Reidar was consecrated as Archbishop of Nidaros, and that the only thing we know with certainty is that he died before he could return to Norway.
The English Cardinal Nicholas Brekespear, later Pope Adrian IV (1154-1159), was sent to Norway as a papal legate with the authority to consecrate an Archbishop in 1152.

It was also important for the pretenders to the throne to establish their legitimacy by linking their title to the throne to the venerable hailing traditions associated with the conferring of the blessing of the church in Trondheim.
From a historical perspective, one may say that the swearing of the oath was transferred from the courtyard of the Nidaros Cathedral to the chamber of the Storting in Oslo.
In his decision to be consecrated, King Olaf V laid the foundation for continuing a tradition with roots going back to the hailing by the Øyrating and to the coronations of the Norwegian kings from 1163 to 1906.
