Abstract: Similar to what was occurring in the majority of Western European kingdoms, the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were decisive in the genesis of the State in Norway.In particular, this article explores the role that towns played in the kings' communication and propaganda.The towns of Nidaros (today Trondheim) and Bergen were at the centre of the power struggles between the Church and the Monarchy over the control of processes of legitimation of royal authority.More specifically, these towns reveal a process of liberation towards more royal communication.
