Kingdom of Firda

The Kingdom of Firda (Old Norse: Firðafylkí) was a petty kingdom in western Norway during the Viking Age. It was one of several independent realms that existed prior to the unification of Norway.

The kingdom was ruled by a local dynasty whose primary seat of power was located at the Myklebust farm in modern-day Nordfjordeid. Its independence ended circa 868–870 AD following a series of conflicts with King Harald Fairhair, culminating in the deaths of its last independent kings, Audbjørn Frøybjørnsson and his brother Vemund Kamban. After their fall, the region was governed by Earls (Jarls) appointed by the Norwegian crown.
