## Bio

Magnus Haakonsson was born in early May 1238 and took the Norwegian throne in 1263. His reign is defined by legal reform: he overhauled and standardised Norway's fragmented laws, transforming them into a coherent national code that earned him the epithet "Lawmender." He was also the first Norwegian king to use an ordinal number, calling himself Magnus IV - though modern historians count him as Magnus VI. He died on 9 May 1280, leaving behind a legal legacy that outlasted most military conquests.
