Norse pagan worship is the traditional religious rituals practiced by Norse pagans in Scandinavia in pre-Christian times, Christianity, during the conversion period, was referred to as "nýr sidr" (the new custom), the conversion period is speaking in regards to which titled event, that took place between the 8th and the 12th centuries, and the realms of Scandinavia proper, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, established their own Archdioceses, responsible directly to the Pope?
Christianization of Scandinavia The Christianization of Scandinavia took place between the 8th and the 12th centuries. The realms of Scandinavia proper, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, established their own Archdioceses, responsible directly to the Pope, in 1104, 1154 and 1164, respectively. The conversion to Christianity of the Scandinavian people required more time, since it took additional efforts to establish a network of churches. The Sami remained unconverted until the 18th century.
Inge the Elder Inge the Elder (Swedish: "Inge Stenkilsson"; Old Norse: "Ingi Steinkelsson") (died c. 1105-1110) was a King of Sweden. In English literature he has also been called "Ingold". While the sources do not allow us to paint a full picture of his term of kingship, he is known to have led a turbulent but at length successful reign of more than two decades. He stands out as a devoted Christian who founded the first abbey in Sweden and acted harshly against pagan practices. The kingdom was still an unstable realm based on alliances of noblemen, and Inge's main power base was in Västergötland and Östergötland; one of the earliest chronicles that mention his reign knows him as "rex gautorum", King of the Geats.
