Something wrong?A king who never ruled alone. Inge Haraldsson held Norway's throne from age one through twenty-five years of civil war, his reign defined less by what he built than by what he survived - a crown split three ways and a body that earned him a nickname historians added centuries later.

Inge Haraldsson became king in 1136, at one year old, entering a Norway already fracturing into the civil war era that would define his entire life. He never governed the country by himself; the throne was always contested, always shared, the realm always splintered. He ruled - or tried to - for twenty-five years, until his death on 3 February 1161. Later generations called him Inge the Hunchback, a reference to his physical disability, though no medieval source used that name. He was twenty-five when he died, having known nothing but war.
