Möre was divided into two hundreds: Möre Northern Hundred and Möre Southern Hundred. History First millenium Möre is mentioned c. 900, by Wulfstan of Hedeby as ''Meore'': The mention is viewed as evidence that Möre was a well-known region. Traditionally, it has also been interpreted as evidence of 9th-century rule from the Mälaren Valley, but some modern historians instead opine that ''Sweons'' was a general term for peoples north of Denmark and did not imply centralised Swedish rule.

Saga King
A mythological king is an archetype in mythology. A king is considered a "mythological king" if he is included and described in the culture's mythology. Unlike a fictional king, aspects of their lives may have been real and legendary, or that the culture (through legend and story telling) believed to be real. In the myth, the legends that surround any historical truth might have evolved into symbols of "kinship" and leadership, and expanded with descriptions of spiritual, supernatural or magical chain of events. For example, in legend the king may have magical weapons and fight dragons or other mythological beasts. His archetypical role is usually to protect and serve the people. Archetypes of kings One mythological archetype is the "good king" (McConnel 1979), also sometimes called the "monarchical hero". The "good king" is often the epic hero who made his world safe for civilization. Two examples that scholars have identified as filling the roles and earning the reputation o ...

Nór
Nór (Old Norse Nórr) is according to the Orkneyinga Saga the eponymous founder of Norway. Icelandic accounts Source material Nór of Norway appears in “Fundinn Nóregr” (‘Norway Founded’), hereafter called F, which begins the ''Orkneyinga saga'', and in '' Hversu Noregr byggðist'' (‘How Norway was Settled’), hereafter called B. Both sources are found in the '' Flatey Book''. The term is described differently in different sources. Nór was one of the sons of King Thorri ('frozen snow'), and a grandson of King Snær ('snow'). King Nór marries Hedda (Höddu) daughter of Svaða Jótun that may be seen as descending from the Scyldings, from the Kings of Lejre, the stronghold of the descendants of Dan in Denmark. Although not matching, there are some correspondences between the sources. In the B-source (''Hversu Noregr byggðist'') Nór is married Höddu, granddaughter of a King Östen, on her mother Åshild's side. Her and her brother Hrolf of Berg's father, Svað ...

Raum The Old
Raum the Old (Old Norse: ''Raumr inn gamli'') is a legendary king in Norway in the '' Hversu Noregr byggdist'' and in Thorsteins saga Víkingssonar. The saga of ''Hversu Noregr byggðist'' tells of two kings known as Raum. It is not simple to tell them apart; although the author of the saga appears to have put in some clues. In ''Hversu Noregr byggdist'' The first King Raum is son of the eponymous first king of Norway, King Nór and Queen Hedda (''Höððu)''. The second Raum is the first King Raum's and Queen Bergdis' grandson through their son Jötunbjörn the Old. The second Raum is by all probability King Raum the Old. In ''Hversu Noregr byggðist'', as well as other sagas, such as Örvar Odd's saga, the cognomen ''inn gamli'' - the Old - refers to the person's longevity, not as in the elder or younger of two. Quite specifically the cognomen ''inn gamli'' refers to a certain capability of death-defiance acquired by certain sacrifices (''bloþ),'' typically lasting for three ...

The Rauma is a river that runs through the Romsdalen valley in Møre og Romsdal and Innlandet counties in Norway.

The Rauma River and its valley are regarded as one of the most beautiful in Norway. The river runs very clear with a green tint and the mountains tower some above the river in the lower and middle parts of the valley. The Reinheimen National Park and the Trollveggen cli ...

Old Norse
Old Norse, also referred to as Old Nordic or Old Scandinavian, was a stage of development of North Germanic languages, North Germanic dialects before their final divergence into separate Nordic languages. Old Norse was spoken by inhabitants of Scandinavia and their Viking expansion, overseas settlements and chronologically coincides with the Viking Age, the Christianization of Scandinavia, and the consolidation of Scandinavian kingdoms from about the 8th to the 15th centuries. The Proto-Norse language developed into Old Norse by the 8th century, and Old Norse began to develop into the modern North Germanic languages in the mid- to late 14th century, ending the language phase known as Old Norse. These dates, however, are not precise, since written Old Norse is found well into the 15th century. Old Norse was divided into three dialects: Old West Norse (Old West Nordic, often referred to as ''Old Norse''), Old East Norse (Old East Nordic), and Old Gutnish. Old West Norse and O ...
