The Uplands (Old Norse: ''Upplǫnd'', Norwegian: ''Opplandene''), is an ancient name for the agricultural lands and forest regions to the north of Oslo in Norway. The term generally included the districts Romerike, Ringerike, Hedmarken, Toten, Hadeland and Land. To the north, these lands branched out through valleys to the districts Valdres, Gudbrandsdalen, Østerdalen and Solør, which often were counted as part of the Uplands as well. It has also been implied that the districts Telemark, Numedal, Hallingdal, Romerike and Glåmdalen were included as well.〔, pp. 33〕 == History == In the Viking Age, Oppland was also an administrative unit ruled by kings: * Eystein, father of Åsa who married Halfdan Hvitbeinn (see Ynglinga Saga, paragraph 49) * Halfdan "the Aged" Sveidasson (c. 750) * Ivar Halfdansson (c. 770) * Eystein "Glumra (the Noisy)" Ivarsson, son-in-law of Ragnvald the Mountain-High and father of Ragnvald Eysteinsson (788) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uplands, Norway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
