Norway's Inge I Haraldsson is defeated and killed February 1 at age 25 while fighting the forces of Haakon II Sigurdsson (see 1157). Having reigned since infancy, Inge is succeeded by Haakon, who will rule until next year as Haakon II (the Broadshouldered), but not without challenges to his sovereignty.
Theobald, archbishop of Canterbury, dies April 18 at age 70 (approximate), having been patron to his archdeacon Thomas à Becket, who will succeed to the primacy next year.
