Interesting Article about Norwegian History and Norways Kings

Here is an interesting article about Norway, family trees and the Kings of Norway.


This article is about the almost impossibility of having a Norwegian King in your background if you come most recently from good farmer stock! It has many interesting facts about genealogy in Norway, which seems to have abandoned it as a strict scientific endeavor unlike Sweden which has kept a close eye on it by keeping it within the scholarly field of universities and professors. Many errors and out right incorrect facts have crept into articles and papers written in Norway and elsewhere and we beginners tend to make it worse by believing these WRONG articles and copying them and using them in our work.

The article details all the Kings of Norway and their various off-spring and where they stand today, as well as some upper class nobles. It is well worth reading and keeping a copy to refer to in the future.
