Oslo in the heart of Viken. Life and work in the medieval city
By Erik Schia
The book shows the latest archaeological discoveries in the Old Town, and thus sheds new light on Oslo's oldest history. Through King Håkon V Magnusson's funeral procession from Tunsberg to Oslo in 1319, readers are introduced to people in his entourage, while the city was at its greatest as a capital in the Middle Ages. In addition, the author tells about the city; the buildings and people's lives there at that time, and about his theory about the age of the city. With a list of sources and literature. Illustrated.
