Everything about Haakon V Of Norway totally explained
Haakon V Magnusson (
1270 -
May 8,
1319) was king of
Norway from
1299 until
1319. He was married to
Eufemia of Rügen, and father to
Ingeborg Håkonsdotter who married duke
Eric Magnusson of Sweden. He is considered to be the last Norwegian king in the
Fairhair dynasty.
He was the younger surviving son of
Magnus the Lawmender, King of Norway, and his wife
Ingeborg of Denmark. He succeeded when his older brother
king Eirik died heirless.
Through his mother (who was daughter of Jutta of Saxony, herself a descendant of Ulvhild of Norway, duchess of Saxony), Haakon descended from
king Saint Olav.
During his reign he revived his brother's war policy against
Denmark, but in 1309 he finally concluded a peace that in general was the end of Dano-Norwegian wars. In domestic matters he energetically and successfully tried to limit the power of the magnates and to strengthen the king's power.
Haakon was succeeded by his daughter's son, the infant Swedish
prince Magnus. Haakon was buried in
St. Mary's church in
Oslo. Remains of two people, deemed to be Haakon and Eufemia, were discovered during excavations of the ruins of that church and reinterred at
Akershus Fortress.
