00:00 Introduction 02:30 I. King and Country 05:44 II. Economic Growth 08:02 III. A Military State 10:33 IV. The Enemy Within 13:37 V. Collapse 16:50 VI. Legacy 19:03 Epilogue Once the crowns of Denmark and Norway had come together in the Kalmar union, they were locked in a partnership for over 400 years. After Sweden's exit (1523), eventually these two kingdoms grew inseparable. I explore that so-called '400 year night' , an interval in Norwegian history that is often ignored or disregarded as irrelevant in our view of history, whilst its towns, institutions, industries and foundations are still found amongst us.
