Haakon V of Norway

Haakon V Magnusson (1270–1319) was the younger son of King Magnus the Lawmender and ruled Norway from the death of his brother Eric II in 1299. As Duke of Norway he had governed lands around Oslo and Stavanger from 1280.

He curbed his nobles, renewed the war against Denmark and made peace in 1309, while Oslo displaced Bergen as the kingdom's main seat; he built the Akershus and Bohus fortresses.

The last male king of the House of Sverre, he had no legitimate son. He married his daughter Ingeborg to the Swedish duke Erik Magnusson in 1312, and in 1319 was succeeded by their infant son Magnus Eriksson.
