"...his mother (who was daughter of Jutta of Saxony..." and, in the infobox, "Ingeborg Eriksdatter". These don't square. --Wetman 08:48, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Isabelle de Joigny
Some sources give his first wife as Isabelle de Joigny, daughter of Jean II de Joigny. Is this true?--Queen Elizabeth II&#39;s Little Spy (talk) 01:27, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Moving the capital to Oslo
Bergen says that Oslo became the capital in 1299, and this article says that Haakon moved the capital in 1314. Oslo is rather vague about the thing.  howcheng  {chat} 20:51, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * The reason is that the term "capital" in this context is a bit of an anachronism. There was no officially proclaimed capital at this time, it is a question of looking at where the King spent most of his time, and where elements of a state apparatus started to appear. An uncontroversial statement would be that the functions of a capital moved from Bergen to Oslo during Haakon V's reign.--Barend (talk) 13:23, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
