Early History The Middle Ages The history of Norway cannot be thought of without a mention of the year 1130 which was a watershed year in Norwegian history. The civil wars which lasted right up to 1227 were conflicts which disrupted the period of peace. The year 1130 was special in many other aspects as well. It was the start of the so-called High Middle Ages. This was the period of population growth which got consolidated within the Church. Alongside there was also the rise and development of the towns. The power of the monarchy started to increase in the 1100s and 1200s which finally emerged victorious both over the Church and the nobles. This was the period which witnessed the emergence of a serving aristocracy over the traditional secular aristocracy. Union with Denmark

Norway Top Attractions � Essential links Contact webmaster Tourist info office Travel with pets Author: Tor Dagre. The first men to appear in what is now Norway, emerged from dim pre-history when the great inland ice sheets were retreating over Scandinavia. 10,000 years ago the forefathers of today's Norwegians hunted reindeer and other prey on their long trek north. The land they came to had for centuries borne the weight of the icecap, so the coastline was about 200 meters higher than it is today. The oldest proofs of human activity were discovered on a hill in the southeast region of �stfold, not far from the southern frontier with Sweden. At that time the hill was probably an offshore island, just south of the glacier tip. There is no general agreement on where the ancestors of today's Norwegians came from, or on the routes they took on their journey north, but one of these routes certainly passed through Ostfold. Artifacts found at settlements there are of the same type that have been discovered in southern Sweden and in Denmark. A further possible route may have led from the so-called North Sea continent to southwest Norway.
