Who was the king of Norway who wanted to be king of England?
This was Sven Forkbeard (died 1014). Sven Forkbeard conquered Norway in 999 and began the conquest of England in 991 which Canute II. the Great of Denmark completed, he was crowned King of England in 1017. Norway could expulse the Danish intruders after the death of Sven. England elected an own king after the Danish reign end in 1042, it was Edward the Confessor (1012-1066) who was declared Saint in 1161 by Pope Alexander III..
Orlando Bandinelli from Siena was teacher of law in Bologna when he was appointed Cardinal in 1153 and Chancellor of the Roman Church in 1156. As such he was an influential counsellor of Hadrian IV.. At the election of the successor the Cardinal assembly could not agree on a common choice, the anti-imperial majority voted for Orlando on 07.09.1159 who called himself Alexander III., the minority of Emperor supporters voted for Octavian who acted as Counter-Pope Victor IV. until 1164. The schism was continued with the Counter-Popes Paschalis III., Calixtus III. and Innozenz III. until 1180. Alexander's pontificate was determined by the struggle with his counter-papal opponents who were positioned by Emperor Barbarossa. After Alexander could defeat Barbarossa in the Battle of Legnano in 1176 by support of the Lombardy urban alliance Barbarossa dropped Calixtus III., in the peace treaty of Venice in 1177 Friedrich I. refrained from occupying Church property. The Lateran Concilium of 1179 determined that for a valid Pope election a two third majority would be imperative. Furthermore the French Waldensians, Catharians and Albigensians were condemned and Sanctification was declared an exclusive papal privilege. During the pontificate of Alexander also the severe conflict with the English National Church took place. Alexander had supported Thomas Becket, archbishop of Canterbury who was murdered in his cathedral in 1170 and Sanctified by the Pope in the same year. Alexander III., one of the most powerful medieval Popes, died on 30.08.1181.
