mærkeligste Bygning er Dornkirken, og da denne ved
Siden af Throndhjems Domkirke hører til Landets
ypperste Mindesmærker fra Middelalderen, fortjener
den nærmere Omtale. I 1128 skilte Sigurd
Jorsala-farer sig fra sin Dronning Malmfrid for at ægte en
ung Kvinde, Cæcilia. Da Biskop Magne i Bergen
protesterede mod denne ulovlige Handling og nægtede
at vie dem, drog Kongen til Stavanger, hvor Bispen
der udførte Vielsen mod, at han erlagde betydelige
Bøder, Vvorved den paabegyndte Kirke kunde
fuldendes. Denne Stavangers første Biskop, Reinald, var
Englænder og havde tidligere været Munk i
Winchester-, derfra lod han engelske Arbeidere komme
over til Norge, og saaledes forklares den mærkelige
Overensstemmelse, der er mellem Kirkens ældste Dele

Cathedral, and this edifice, together with Throndhjem
Cathedral, being undoubtedly one of the most splendid
memorials of mediaeval times in this country, is
deserving of a detailed description. In 1128 Sigurd
Jorsala-farer put away his wife Malmfrid, in order to marry
a young woman by the name of Cæcilia. Bishop Magne
in Bergen protesting loudly against this illegal action,
and refusing to wed the couple, the king marched to
Stavanger, where the bishop consented to perform the
ceremony, on the king’s paying down a large sum of
money, as a fine, with which the building of the
cathedral — already commenced — could be resumed and
completed. This bishop, the first that Stavanger ever
had, was one Reinald, an Englishman, who had formerly
been a monk in Winchester Abbey; he now sent for
English workmen, and this explains the remarkable
similarity between the older portions of this edifice
and Winchester Cathedral. Probably, tooj it was
Reinald, who, in memory of his native city,
consecrated "his new Cathedra*’ to St. Swithin, Bishop of
Winchester, 837—862, and of whose remains, which
are preserved in the cathedral of that city, an arm
was given to Stavanger, as the first relic in the
sanctuary of the lately erected bishopric. Several of
the following kings richly endowed the church. For
instance, Haakon Haakonssön confirmed the deed of
gift (mentioned above) made by Magnus Erlingsson
to the church. In 1272 the noble building suffered
from a terrible conflagration. In consequence of this
event, the archbishop issued a large number of plenary
indulgences to such as would contribute towards the
