King Inge, after whose See also:death in 1217 he was chosen king; though until 1223 the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church refused to recognize him, on the ground of See also:illegitimacy, and the See also:Pope's See also:dispensation for his See also:coronation was not gained until much later. In the earlier See also:part of his reign much of the royal See also:power was in the hands of See also:Earl Skule, who intrigued against the king until 1239, when he proceeded to open hostility and was put to death. From this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time onward Haakon's reign was marked by more See also:peace and prosperity than See also:Norway had known for many years, until in 1263 a dispute with the Scottish king concerning the See also:Hebrides, a See also:Norwegian See also:possession, induced Haakon to undertake an expedition to the See also:west of See also:Scotland. A See also:division of his See also:army seems to have repulsed a large Scottish force at See also:Largs (though the later Scottish accounts claim this See also:battle as a victory), and, having won back the Norwegian possessions in Scotland, Haakon was wintering in the Orkneys, when he was taken See also:ill and died on the 15th of See also:December 1263. A See also:great part of his See also:fleet had been scattered and destroyed by storms. The most important event in his reign was the voluntary submission of the Icelandic See also:commonwealth. Worn out by See also:internal strife fostered by Haakon's emissaries, the Icelandic chiefs acknowledged the Norwegian king as overlord in 1262. Their example was followed by the See also:colony of See also:Greenland.
HAAKON VII. (1872– ), the second son of See also:Frederick VIII., king of See also:Denmark, was See also:born on the 3rd of See also:August 1872, and was usually known as See also:Prince See also:Charles of Denmark. When in 1905 Norway decided to See also:separate herself from See also:Sweden the Norwegians
offered their See also:crown to Charles, who accepted it and took the name of Haakon VII., being crowned at See also:Trondhjem in See also:June 1906. The king married Maud, youngest daughter of See also:Edward VII., king of Great See also:Britain, their son, Prince Olav, being born in 1903.
