Barend

I have a university education in English, History, Russian and International Relations, and use wikipedia when I should really be doing other things. Also contribute to Norwegian wikipedia (mainly Nynorsk).

I live in Bergen, Norway.

I wrote my MA-dissertation on the dissolution of Yugoslavia, at the University of East Anglia. Later I wrote an MA-thesis on the Hanseatic settlement in Bergen in the Late Middle Ages, at the University of Bergen.

On English wikipedia I have mainly written about Norwegian history, occasionally on Yugoslavia and sometimes this and that.

Articles I have contributed extensively to include:

• Battle of Largs
• Haakon IV of Norway
• Magnus VI of Norway
• Guttorm of Norway
• Haakon III of Norway
• JBTZ-trial
• Inge II of Norway
• Civil war era in Norway

• Magnúss saga lagabœtis
• Haakon the Crazy
