ter ved Tugthuset; ligeledes er her Beitgjerdets
Pleie-stiftelse for Spedalske. Iler maa ogsaa nævnes det
V, Mil fra Byen ved Fjorden liggende Botvolds
Sindssygeasyl, taget i Brug 1872 og fortrinlig indrettet for
omtrent 200 Syge. Af Throndhjems mange Legater og
milde Stiftelser maa især fremhæves Thomas Angells
Legat eller „Thomas Angells Stiftelser," det største
Legat i Norge. Thomas Angell, Sønnesøn af den fra
Angeln i Slesvig indvandrede Lorents Mortensen, var
dels ved Arv, dels ved Handelsforetagender og
Sparsomhed bleven en af Throndhjems rigeste Mænd. Ved
Testament af 1762 legerede han — paa nogle
ubetydelige Summer nær — hele sin Formue til offentlig Brug
og især til Bedste for Stadens Fattige. De fire
Sjettedele af Renterne skulle aarlig uddeles til visse Klasser
af Trængende, og de øvrige to Sjettedele lægges til
Kapitalen; men for disse ere ogsaa fiere
Byggeforetagender og almennyttige Indretninger udførte,
deriblandt Th. Angells Hus eller „Kloster", indeholdende
32 Bekvemmeligheder for ældre trængende Damer.
Thomas Angell døde 1767 og blev bisat i en
Gravhvælving i det saakaldte Lagthing eller søndre Kors af
Domkirken.
Af offentlige og private Pengeinstituter anføres:
Norges Bank, oprettet ved Fundats af 14de Juni 1816,
har sit Hovedsæde i Throndhjem og Filialafdelinger i
de øvrige betydeligere Byer. Den staar under en
Direktion af 5 Medlemmer, og dens Lokale er i en
grundmuret Bygning, beliggende paa Hjørnet af
Kongens Gade og Kjøbmandsgaden. Privatbanken (i Søndre

beiner (1206). Other hostile parties sprang up to contest
the right of King Haakon Haakonssön. Skule
Baards-søn, the half brother of Inge, an ambitious noble,
whose daugther the king had wedded, aspired to the
royal dignity, and unfurled the flag of revolt. At
Orething he had himself proclaimed king, but
immediately after was forced to flee before the mighty
Haakon. A short thime after, Skule, having lost a
battle near Oslo, returned to Nidaros, and, being
attacked there by the Birkebeiner, sought refuge in
the monastery of Helgesæter; hut the monastery was
burned, and himself killed on his flight (1240).
Notwithstanding these hostile collisions Nidaros had not
suffered materially. The latter half of the 13th
century would appear to be the period when the city had
attained its highest stage of development. As a
commercial port, Nidaros was not important in ancient
times; her principal sources of revenue consisting in
valuable church-property, and the numerous visitors,
who never came empty-handed to the city of St. Olaf.
In the reign of Magnus Lagaböter a municipal law was
framed for Nidaros. In the year 1300 as many as 13
churches are mentioned as belonging to the town.
Part of one of these the Mariæ Kirke, still exists in
the present Frue Kirke (Church of our Lady). The
Hospitalskirke and Baklandets Kirke are now the other
churches of the town. Outside the walls there were
three monasteries, viz. 1) Holms Benedictines’
Monastery, one of the oldest ecclesiastieal houses in the
North of Europe. It was erected on Nidarholm (now
126 Munhholmen) a quarter of a mile out in
