- Years of transition (1319–1380s) In Norway this phase only involved marginal adjustments of the political and constitutional system.1 The accession of King Magnus Eriksson in 1319 was in accordance with the current law of succession and the ensuing personal union with Sweden had no formal consequences. The large national assemblies 1 For the following representation, see in general K. Hørbye and M.Venge, Tiden – (A. E. Christensen et al.

- Sweden was nevertheless the kingdom where the aristocracy, acting through the council of the realm, came most strongly to the political forefront in the fourteenth century, opposing and finally deposing King Magnus Eriksson, calling in and electing Albrecht of Mecklenburg (1363–89) in his place, setting bounds to Albrecht’s power, and finally deposing him as well.

- The prospects of the Swedish dukes, how- ever, looked more promising than ever after their Norwegian consorts had given birth to sons in 1316, which meant that Magnus Eriksson was now next in line for the Norwegian throne. The situation changed dramatically when the Swedish dukes were impris- oned by King Birger in 1317, probably in connivance with Erik Menved, and perished in prison the next year.

- A concrete reflection of the loss of population is the fact that by 1600 a total of 143 medieval churches had been abandoned, 85 per cent of them in Jylland where one-third of the churches in some districts went out of use.15 The oldest source of information regarding the Black Death in Sweden is a decree by King Magnus Eriksson, most likely issued in September or October 1349, in which he warns his subjects of the danger threatening the country: For the sins of man, God is punishing the world with

- This position was consolidated in the urban code of King Magnus Eriksson from about 1350, according to which all foreign trade in this huge area was to pass through Stockholm. Stockholm thus attained an economic central function comparable to that of Bergen in the west Nordic region. Again like Bergen, it grew into the chief political and administrative centre of the kingdom.

- This was the situation when Magnus Eriksson came of age in 1331–2 and took over the government of both his kingdoms. The personal union of Norway and Sweden continued, but without any for- mal treaty and with the king as the only connecting link. By now dissatisfaction with Count Johan’s German bailiffs had grown strong enough for the estates of Skåne to invite Magnus to rule Skåne in 1332 (Chapter 8(d)).

- The province of Lund As a consequence of the temporary disintegration of the Danish kingdom in the first half of the fourteenth century the archbishopric of Lund came under the control of the Swedish Folkung monarchy and King Magnus Eriksson added ‘king of Skåne’ to his titles. This was, however, only an interlude as King Valdemar IV (1340–75) soon regained Skåne for the Danish kingdom (see Chapter 12(d)). He was helped by his good relations and cooperation with the papacy.
