Beskrivelse
The Pagan Earl offers a detailed exploration of how medieval Norwegian royal histories incorporate 'pagan' ideas. Centered around the figure of Hákon jarl Sigurðarson, this study delves into his portrayal as a committed pagan within these sagas.
A thorough examination of pagan themes in medieval Norwegian kings' sagas through the life of Hákon jarl Sigurðarson.
This monograph is organized as a biography of Hákon jarl Sigurðarson, who is consistently depicted as a devoted pagan. Each chapter begins with a specific event from Hákon's life and uses it as a springboard to explore key aspects of pre-Christian religion identified by scholars.
The topics covered include divine and sacred kinship, rituals, sacrifices, temples, myths, and fate. By the conclusion, the book addresses nearly all major categories of pagan belief relevant to the historical context.
Throughout the chapters, the study reveals how the authors and editors of these medieval texts employed religious concepts to serve ideological purposes, particularly concerning ideas about the centralization of kingship.
