Reinald of Stavanger
Reinald (died 18 January 1135) was a Norwegian Catholic bishop. He was the first bishop of the Diocese of Stavanger, coming from Winchester in England. He is known for having initiated the construction of the Stavanger Cathedral, which started in 1130.[1] Being in conflict with the king, Harald Gille, he was hanged in Bergen on 18 January 1135.[2][3] Other than that, he was also fined very shortly before for not disclosing information on gold treasures hidden by Magnus the Blind.[4]
