User:Barend

Born 8 May 1977, in Norway.

I have a university education in English, History, Russian and International Relations, and use wikipedia when I should really be doing other things. Also contribute to Norwegian wikipedia (mainly Nynorsk).

I live in Bergen, Norway.

I wrote my MA-dissertation on the dissolution of Yugoslavia, at the University of East Anglia. Later I wrote an MA-thesis on the Hanseatic settlement in Bergen in the Late Middle Ages, at the University of Bergen.

On English wikipedia I have mainly written about Norwegian history, occasionally on Yugoslavia and sometimes this and that.

Articles I have contributed extensively to include:
 * Battle of Largs
 * Haakon IV of Norway
 * Magnus VI of Norway
 * Guttorm of Norway
 * Haakon III of Norway
 * JBTZ-trial
 * Inge II of Norway
 * Civil war era in Norway
 * Olav Ugjæva
 * Magnúss saga lagabœtis
 * Haakon the Crazy
 * Philip Simonsson
 * Inge I of Norway
 * Eystein II of Norway
 * Sigurd II of Norway
 * Islam in Norway
 * Haakon Haakonsson the Young
 * Sigurd Jonsson
