The kingdom of Solør is the ancient name of a historical region, the former kingdom of Norway, which currently comprises the valley of Glomma between Elverum to the north and Kongsvinger to the south; It's part of Hedmark County.
EtymologyThe original form in Old Norse was Soløyjar. The first sun element probably means "mud or mud", and the second element is the plural form of øy: "flat land along the river". History
Norway of the Viking Age was divided into small independent kingdoms ruled by caudillos who ruled the territories, competed for supremacy at sea and political influence, and sought alliances or control over other royal families, either voluntarily or forced. These circumstances led to turbulent periods and heroic lives as recorded in the Heimskringla saga of Icelandic Scallop Snorri Sturluson in the thirteenth century.
