This painting illustrates some of the rugged fjord and island terrain that was Hålogaland

Hålogaland was the northernmost of the Norwegian provinces in the medieval Norse sagas. In the early Viking Age, before Harald Fairhair, Hålogaland was a kingdom extending between the Namdalen valley in Trøndelag county and the Lyngen fjord in Troms county.[1]

Etymology and history

Ancient Norwegians said that Шаблон:Lang was named after a royal named Hǫlgi. The Norse form of the name was Шаблон:Lang. The first element of the word is the genitive plural of Шаблон:Lang, a 'person from Hålogaland'. The last element is Шаблон:Lang, as in 'land' or 'region'. The meaning of the demonym Шаблон:Lang is unknown. Thorstein Vikingson's Saga, 1, describes it as a compound of Hial, "Hel" or "spirit," and "loge", "fire" - although this is largely discredited.

The Gothic historian Jordanes in his work Шаблон:Lang (also known as Getica), written in Constantinople Шаблон:Circa, mentions a people "Adogit" living in the far North. This could be an old form of Шаблон:Lang and a possible reference to the petty kingdom of Hålogaland. Alex Woolf links the name Hålogaland to the Шаблон:Lang — the "Northern Lights" —, saying that Hålogaland meant the "Land of the High Fire",[2] Шаблон:Lang deriving from Шаблон:Lang, which refers to fire. This is also largely discredited.Шаблон:Citation needed

A fanciful and legendary interpretation is found in the medieval accounts of Ynglingatal and Skáldskaparmál, "Logi" is described as the personification of fire, a fire giant, and as a "son of Fornjót". In the medieval Orkneyinga saga and the account of Шаблон:Lang ('How Norway was inhabited'), Fornjót is described as king of "Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang". The royal lineages sprung from his children are discussed in these and other medieval accounts. The beginning of the Шаблон:Lang ("Saga of Thorstein son of Víking") discusses King Logi who ruled the country north of Norway. Because Logi was larger and stronger than any other man in land, his name was lengthened from Logi to Шаблон:Lang, meaning "High-Logi". Derived from that name his country became called Шаблон:Lang, meaning "Hálogi's land". Eventually the spelling of the name shaped to the modern-day Hålogaland.

A more realistic interpretation of the name is presented by Halvdan Koht and Alfred Jacobsen (in Håløyminne 1, 1920): 'Háleygr' is derived from Proto-Scandinavian *HaÞulaikaR, with the elements *haÞu 'battle' and *laik- 'pledge'. In other words, a wartime alliance of the many settlements in times of conflict.

The Hversu Noregr byggðist is a legendary account of the origin of various legendary Norwegian lineages. It traces the descendants of the primeval ruler Fornjót (Fornjotr) down to Nór, who is here the eponym and first great king of Norway, who unites the Norwegian lands (petty kingdoms). The Hversu account then gives details of the descendants of Nór and of his brother Gór in the following section known as the Шаблон:Lang ("Genealogies", or Шаблон:Lang, "Founding of Norway"). The Hversu account is closely paralleled by the opening of the Orkneyinga saga.

In 873 AD, according to the Egil's saga (written Шаблон:Circa) the Kvens and Norse cooperate in battling against the invading Karelians. The chapter XVII of Egil's saga describes how Thorolf Kveldulfsson (King of Norway's tax chief starting 872 AD) from Namdalen, located in the southernmost tip of the historic Hålogaland, goes to Kvenland again:

Based on medieval documents, the above meeting took place during the winter of 873–874. Hålogaland's rather close vicinity to Kvenland is also demonstrated Шаблон:Circa in the geographical chronicle Шаблон:Lang by the Icelandic Abbot Níkulás Bergsson (Nikolaos), who provides descriptions of lands around Norway:

As recorded in Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar, King Hákon Hákonarson settled some of the people of Bjarmaland in Malangen near modern Tromsø in the 1230s or 40s. According to Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum, King Helgi of Hålogaland married a Princess Thora of Lappland and Bjarmaland, daughter of Prince Gusi, but in other sources he is only given as King of Lappland. In any event, for centuries the Norwegians of Hålogaland had extensive relations with both the Bjarmar[3] and Saami, and to some extent also the Kvens.[4]

Modern usage

In modern times, the term Hålogaland is used in a variety of senses. For some purposes, all of Northern Norway plus Svalbard and Jan Mayen are covered under the term Hålogaland.[1] For other purposes the counties of Nordland and Troms constitute Hålogaland. Hålogaland or even Mid Hålogaland are frequent terms covering the smaller districts of Ofoten, Lofoten and Vesterålen, as well as the municipalities Bjarkøy, Gratangen, Harstad, Ibestad, Kvæfjord and Tjeldsund of Troms county. The term has also been used in this last sense, minus the Lofoten archipelago.

The name is currently used by the Dioceses of Nord-Hålogaland, Sør-Hålogaland, as well as by a Court of Appeal, a theater and a large bridge.

A derived name is Helgeland which refers to southern Nordland.

History

Hålogaland figures extensively in the Norse sagas, and in the Шаблон:Lang, especially the Ynglinga Saga and Шаблон:Lang. It was inhabited by the race of Hölgi (Шаблон:Lang) who was the eponymous hero of Hålogaland.[5]

In the saga, Heimskringla, a man called Gudlög led a number of Norwegian pirates that were fought by the Swedish king Jorund and king Godgest of Hålogaland was given a horse by the Swedish king Adils. The first earl of Lade, Håkon Grjotgardsson, ruler of Trøndelag, came from Hålogaland, and sought to extend his kingdom southwards. Here, he met with Harald Fairhair, and joined him.[6]

Archaeologists have uncovered the Chieftain House at Borg in Lofoten (Шаблон:Lang), a large Viking Era building believed to have been already established around the year 500. Archaeological studies commenced here in 1983 and in 1986–89, a joint Scandinavian research project was conducted at Borg. Excavations brought to light remains of the largest building ever to be found from the Viking Era in Norway, 83 meters long and 9 meters high. The chieftain's seat at Borg is estimated to have been abandoned around AD 950. Today the site is the location of the Lofotr Viking Museum.[7][8][9]

Geography

Hålogaland is a drowned coastline containing extensive mountainous fjords and islands. It was an excellent refuge for Viking ships as well as a way station for voyagers to the White Sea, which offered access to Russia. Even in modern times, Narvik was an important World War II objective. In 2008, the name was proposed as the possible name of an independent Northern Norway.[10]
