Abbreviation

Nidaros (in Normark Norse; Storish Norse: Niðarós; Hurmu Norse: Niðaroos) was a kingdom on the north island of the Red Antilles/Feanoria. Before its dissolution by the hand of the Storish king, it was a client kingdom of Stormark, though largely self-governing and autonomous, with a culture, religion and legal considerably different from Stormark's main one.

Monarchs

• Monarchs
  • Dagmar (Anne-Marie Dagmarsdottir, The Countess of Haldarsvik-Holmestrand, Countess of Hessen)
    • Became regent of Nidaros 1514 for King Camillus
    • Abdicated 1516: Life often throws us challenges. Some are exciting and some are difficult, but with strength we can over come. I returned to my throne in Nidaros to save this country from political instability. My heart will always be with the people of Nidaros. But my heart also lies with another land that I must now give the same foundations as I gave to Nidaros. Crown Princess Birla has been a devoted Crown Princess and I know that her ideas and her plans will benefit you all. Therefore, I must today announce that it is my intention to abdicate in favour of dearest Birla in order that I might take my place in the new Grand Duchy I am responsible for. I wish you all success and prosperity.
    • abdicated 1515
  • Birla Mortensdottir (1509–? Her reign probably ended after the war..., so 1518-ish?)

  • Audon (1537–1542)

Culture

The Nazarene Church, for example, was the main religion, and there were strong traditional patriarchal Nazarene mores in society, with the Holy Nidarosian Church also being the state church of Nidaros. As a state church, it was a government institution, in charge of registering population, holding censuses, recording births, baptisms, weddings (even civil ones), deaths, and funerals (also civil ones).

The power of the Church was so considerable that Stormark carved out Riskai from Nidaros in order to give the Church more temporal autonomy in 1537.
