Dragseidet

On this spot, in 997, Olav Tryggvason summoned all the landowning farmers from Sogn in the South to Romsdalen in the North to a moot. In Snorre's Tales of the Kings (about1120 AD) we read: "When the king came to the moot, he offered them Christendom,as he had done elsewhere, and because the king had a great army with him they were afraid and since the landowners said that it wasn't wise to fight against the king, it was decided that the people should become Christian."
