Norway
Norway was a Scandinavian kingdom ruled from Oslo. In 1337 Magnus Eriksson, who had inherited both Norway and Sweden in 1319, held the Norwegian throne.
The Black Death struck in 1349; Norway entered union with Denmark in 1380 and the Kalmar Union in 1397. After Sweden left in 1523, Denmark imposed Lutheran reform in 1537. War cost Norway Jämtland and Härjedalen in 1645 and Bohuslän in 1658. The 1814 Treaty of Kiel transferred Norway to Sweden, but Norwegians adopted the Eidsvoll constitution and kept their laws and parliament under the new union.
