det gamle Kloster, have Statsfanger været forvarede.
Blandt disse maa mærkes Christian V’s berømte
Minister Peder Griffenfeld, der sad fængslet her fra 1680—
1698. Det Rum, hvori han var indespærret, vises endnu,
men Intet af hvad der fandtes deri existerer mere;
selv hans mange Inskriptioner paa Væggene og tildels
paa Viduesruderne har den moderne Vandalisme i
Aarene omkring 1840 tilintetgjort. 2) Helgesæter
Kloster tilhørte Augustinerordenen og havde store og
prægtige Bygninger. Efter dets Ophævelse ved
Reformationen fik Biskopen en Tidlang sin Bolig der; i 1564
bleve Bygningerne nedrevne, og Eiendommen tilstaaet
Lehnsherren som Avlsgaard. 3) Baklee Kloster, tæt
østenfor Baklandet, i Nord for Helgesæter, var et
betydeligt Nonnekloster.
I 1564 var Throndhjem (som Byen nu kaldes) en
kort Tid besat af Svenskerne. Ved Freden til
Roeskilde 1658 blev Byen afstaaet til Sverige, men atter
beleiret og tilbageerobret af Nordmændene efter en
haard Kamp. I 1718 beleiredes Byen forgjæves af den
svenske General Armfeldt. Indtil det 16de Aarhundrede
synes Staden nogenlunde at have bevaret sin Velmagt ;
men nu kom en lang Række af Uheld af forskjellig
Natur, som nødvendigvis maatte sætte den tilbage i
Velstand og Rørelse. I Sortedøden (omkr. 1350)
bortreves mange Mennesker. I 1566 skal Pesten have
bortrevet 600, og i Aaret 1600 1,800 Mennesker. Ingen
By i Norge har været saa hjemsøgt af Ildebrande som
Throndhjem. I de sidste 350 Aar er optegnet 14 store
Ildavaader, af hvilke 4 (i 1522, 1599, 1651 og 1681)
vare saagodtsom totale,, d. v. s. Alt brændte uden
Throndhjem.
the church after the other, whilst the means, and
indeed the wish to restore it, were, if not entirely
absent, greatly reduced. After the last of these
conflagrations, the whole of the western wing was
abandoned, and soon became a heap of ruins, as it now
appears. The introduction into Norway, roon after of
the reformed religion, resulted in a great change in
the interior arrangement of the cathedral. The altars,
with their splendid decorations, were of course removed,
including the two smaller of the shrines. The silver
case and outer wooden chests, containing St. Olaf’s
remains, were taken to Copenhagen, but the least
valuable of the chests, with the bones of the saint,
was left behind. In the Northern Seven Years’ War it
was however carried of by the Swedes, but was brought
back to Throndhjem in 1568. Some time after, St. Olafs
remains were deposited in a place which to this day
has remained undiscovered.
In the Fundamental Law of the Kingdom,
proclaimed in 1814, the coronation of the sovereign shall
take place in the cathedral of Throndhjem. Four
coronations had previously been solemnized there, viz
that of Haakon the Fifth, 1299, Karl Knutssøn, 1449,
Christian the First, 1450, and Hans, 1483. Since 1814,
the year of indepedance, three coronations have been
celebrated in the cathedral of Throndhjem, viz. that
of Charles XIV, called Carl Johan (formerly Bernadotte),
1818, Charles XV, with his Queen Louisa, 1860, and
that of His present Majesty King Oscar II, with his Queen
Sophia 1873. Since attention has been steadily drawn
for some years past to the growing necessity of resto-
