Description
Norway's medieval diocese of Hamar covered Hedemarken and Christians Amt, formed in 1152 from Oslo when Arnold, former Bishop of Gardar in Greenland, became its first bishop. He began Christ Church cathedral, finished about the time of Bishop Paul in the mid-thirteenth century. The see grew a chapter of ten canons, a school, a Dominican priory, and a monastery.
Later bishops include Thorfinn, exiled to Flanders where he died, Jörund, moved to Trondhjem, and a provincial council held in 1380. Mogens, the last Catholic bishop, ruled from 1513 to 1537 before a Danish noble seized him in his castle and carried him to Antvorskov. There he lived mildly treated until his death in 1542.
