Haukr sought power through the imitation and replication of an authorita-
tive European cultural model, and he chose one of the most authoritative
models available to him, for the authority embodied in his clerical material
was much greater than that embodied in the king: it was the authority of
the Church, whose domain dwarfed that of the king of Norway. It is little
wonder, then, that Haukr’s efforts were rewarded with success.
