List of nobles and magnates within Scandinavia in the 13th century

The sources on nobility in 13th century Scandinavia are, at least in the English language, few and far between when compared to other regions but there is still enough to get a good idea of the general composition.

[1] This is probably partially due to the large nature of the countries which gave ample land for semi-independent farmers.

For some of the bishoprics, some bishops who had terms under 4 years may not be listed to avoid clutter.
