Welcome to my new blog! I thought it was about time to create a place where I could air my thoughts on current and past events.
My blog will first of all deal with topics within my main interests such as royal and constitutional history, genealogy, travelling and politics. But there are so many things I am interested in, so you shouldn't be too surprised if I from time to time decide to write about other matters, such as current events, football (soccer), ice hockey etc.
The blog language will be English, but I might write an article in Norwegian from time to time as well.
Thanks for stopping by!

- This blog is written by Dag T. Hoelseth, a Norwegian historian specialising in royal history.
I have a Cand.philol. degree in history from the University of Oslo and graduated in 1997 with the dissertation Det nasjonale kongedømme. Det norske monarkiet 1905-1910, which dealt with the royal election in Norway 1905 and how the new dynasty "became Norwegian".
I am the author of Historisk utredning om Kongehuset, dets apanasjer og disponible statseiendommer, which was published on behalf of the Palace Committee in 2001. The report focused among others on the history of the Norwegian civil list from 1905 to the 1970s as well as the properties the king of Norway has to his disposal.
I have made contributions to several antologies and also written articles for various publications. More often I have operated "behind the scene", consulting newspapers etc. with background information.
Among my other interests are genealogy, Norwegian-American emigration history, US presidential history, traveling, football and ice hockey.
