	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.

		Norway was a region with little natural unity; in the earlier medieval period it was ruled by numerous petty kings.
		The heroic age of the Icelandic skalds (court poets) in the 10th and 11th centuries brought the art to an involved perfection and a concentration on war, which ultimately killed it.
		Meanwhile the kings, interested in politics as well as war (notably Sverre of Norway, 1185), began to patronize the Norwegian storytellers, particularly the Icelanders, and the sagas emerged.

	Tip to Tale: The Beginning
		According to carbon dating analysis, a rock carving at Rodoy, Norway depicting a skier on the hunt dates back to 2500 BC and the oldest known sled-runner, a close cousin of the ski, dates back to 7000 BC.
		The publication states that “In Norway, it is common for kids to practice skiing so extensively that even along the coast of Norway, where there is no practical need for them, skis are used for fun.”
		While some historians argue that skis were first brought to America by Lief Ericson and his men in the year 1000, the first recorded use of skis in the United States occurred in 1841 in Beloit, Wisconsin, a region in the mid-west settled by Scandinavian immigrants.
