Øreting (Øretinget, Øyrating; Old Norse: Eyraþing), was a Thing in Trøndelag, Norway.
Øreting was located at Øra, where the river Nidelva mouths into the Trondheimsfjord in the modern city of Trondheim.
[1] Things were representative assemblies at which delegates from the various districts in each region met to award legal judgments and pass laws.
Hailing of a new king, (Norwegian: Hylling), was an ancient Norse custom.
Snorri Sturluson mentions in his sagas that Harald Fairhair, the first King of Norway, was hailed at the Øreting assembly.
