[edit] Untitled
I have made some extensive changes to this page, mostly in the form of an expansion of the existing text, but also some clarification and correction of mistakes. As I am a relatively new user of wikipedia, I forgot to write an edit summary of my changes, therefore I am writing this. If anyone reads this, I would appreciate your thoughts on whether it would be useful to put some sub-headers into the new article. Barend 12:40, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] hakonar saga gamla <-> hakonar saga hakonarsonar
I have only seen the saga referred to as 'hakonar saga hakonarsonar', and that is also the name of the copy of the original language version in my university library. The 'google-test' gives 20 500 Hakonar saga hakonarsonar, and 36 hakonar saga gamla. (Barend 16:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC))
- As far as i know, the saga calls him 'the Old' only to distinguish him from his son Hákon 'the Young', who was crowned as his heir and co-ruler, but died before his father. Hákon IV died at the age of 60 or 61, wich was older than most medeaval kings (and most men), but not as exceptionally old that it would be the basis of a nickname. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.212.18.221 (talk) 21:18, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

- It's like calling someone 'the Elder'. BodvarBjarki (talk) 11:41, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
[edit] "Sturlunga öld"-template?
Is the Sturlung-öld template really appropriate here? It's big, makes the article look messy, and only very peripherally connected to the topic of the article. I suggest deleting it.--Barend 12:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation Guide?
Tarnation! How does an English speaker pronounce this friggin' guy's name??
- Try thinking of a carnivorous bird, and then say "Hawkon Hawkonson".--Barend (talk) 15:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

- Nope, that's a modern pronounciation; 'á' is just a long vowel a so it's pronounced like ahh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BodvarBjarki (talk • contribs) 11:39, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
