Isabelle de Joigny

[edit]

Some sources give his first wife as Isabelle de Joigny, daughter of Jean II de Joigny. Is this true?--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 01:27, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moving the capital to Oslo

[edit]

Bergen#History says that Oslo became the capital in 1299, and this article says that Haakon moved the capital in 1314. Oslo#History is rather vague about the thing. howcheng {chat} 20:51, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is that the term "capital" in this context is a bit of an anachronism. There was no officially proclaimed capital at this time, it is a question of looking at where the King spent most of his time, and where elements of a state apparatus started to appear. An uncontroversial statement would be that the functions of a capital moved from Bergen to Oslo during Haakon V's reign.--Barend (talk) 13:23, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
