House of Håkon

The House of Håkon was a medieval Norwegian royal family line founded by King Håkon IV, who ruled Norway from 1217 to 1263. This dynasty played a significant role in Norway’s history, overseeing a period of consolidation and growth. It continued through Håkon V and his descendants, governing Norway until the late 14th century.
