Largely correct, but I disagree with the ''quite decentralized'' statement. As Norway had a relatively weak nobility, the kings powers were quite strong, hence it was one of the more centralized states in Europe*, England developing the most centralized system in western Europe in the medieval period. Other than that good post.Originally Posted by Taedius
*(as far as royal power was concerned, exception for the civil wars of course, and orders and edicts from the king would travel slowly through the difficult geography of Norway)
