[edit] Norwegian architecture

Thanks for the edits of this article; I hope you'll continue to work on this subject - I was actually thinking of nominating the article to be a featured article when it's more complete and improved. Your efforts will help make that happen. --Leifern 22:24, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Architecture of Norway - featured candidate

Roede - I've taken the liberty of nominating Architecture of Norway for featured status. Since your edits so far have been very helpful, I hope this nomination will encourage you to continue your good work. mvh --Leifern 10:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I am honoured, Leifern! My contributions will continue to trickle in at an unsteady pace. Summertime, and the living is easy, so perhaps you will see something soon. There are lots of things to clarify and lots of important information to add before we can give passing grades to the article. Roede 20:54, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Roede - I see that the article has been significantly improved and expanded, and I'd like to resubmit it as a featured article. I am hoping to spend some time adding to the article on vernacular architecture over the next few days, as I'm traveling to Norway. I may also add some photographs, as among other things I should be going by the famous funkis house in Hamar. --Leifern 18:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monogramlov?

Valentinian spurte om en template til de norske våpenskjoldene ala:

[edit] Folkung Lion

Thank you for challenging my erroneous notion of the Folkung Lion as a symbol of medieval Finland. I have found more sources on the use of the symbol, providing evidence that derivative symbols used in Finland were drawn from, and significantly predated by, the use of the symbol of the House of Bjälbo in medieval Sweden. The Folkung Lion is, therefor, unequivocally Swedish. Wilhelm meis (talk) 20:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, the Folkung lion is Finnish only in so far as Finland was a part of Sweden until 1809. Thank you for reverting to my earlier version concerning the dexter base of Eric's union arms. But why have you deleted my comment regarding the three crowns dexter chief? They were of course the newer Swedish arms, probably introduced already during the reign of king Magnus VII Eriksson of Sweden and Norway, king also of Scania 1332-1360. However, they were a symbol of the Kalmar Union as well, and used as such in the sigillum ad causas of Margaret, possibly also by Eric of Pomerania. See the seal depicted in the article on the Kalmar Union. Since Sweden is already represented in Eric's union arms by the Folkung lion, the three crowns might in this context rather be interpreted as an allusion to the Union.
One other thing: You have also reverted to an earlier version proclaiming Margaret as queen of Denmark. She was in fact never queen of Denmark, although her title is sometimes given as "queen regnant" in English translations. The Danish article on Margaret states unequivocally: "Margrete har aldrig været dronning af Danmark, da en kvinde kun kunne være "fuldmægtig frue og husbonde og Danmarks riges formynder". Ihvertfald indtil sønnen, hendes mindreårige søn Oluf, kunne blive konge. Så mens Oluf var mindreårig, var hun hans formynder og regerede på hans vegne. Da Oluf døde i 1387, valgte Rigsrådet Margrete til regent...". But she was definitely queen of Norway from her marriage in 1363 to king Håkon VI Magnusson until his death in 1380. And she was even queen of Sweden for two years, until Håkon was deposed from the Swedish throne i 1362. But never queen of Denmark. I trust that you will agree to the reversion that I am about to do.

Erik av Pommern, Tre Kronor, Margrete
Regarding the use of the three crowns, I maintain that there is compelling evidence to suggest that the three crowns originated as a Swedish symbol, possibly representing the triple reign of Albrecht, predating the Kalmar Union, but I do concede that there is some controversy regarding whether its use in Erik's seal is representative of Sweden or of the Kalmar Union. Regarding Margrete, I have found encyclopedic sources online and in print that agree that Margrete was elected sovereign ruler of Sweden by the Riksdag in 1388, but ruled Denmark (from 1375) and Norway (from 1388) only as Regent. Therefor, I contend that if it is erroneous to call her Margaret of Denmark, it is also erroneous to call her Margaret of Norway. It may be most correct to call her Margaret of Sweden, although she is widely called (in English) "Margaret, Queen of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden". If we are to stay in keeping with common usage, perhaps we should amend the page to say "Margaret, Queen of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden". Wilhelm meis (talk) 20:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
