Tourist leaflet on top 50 attractions in Norway: Bryggen i Bergen.
"På Bryggen står man ansikt til ansikt med minnene fra den gamle rikshovedstaden i det såkalte Norgesveldet."
I know what it's referring to but wonder if anyone has a good translation?

The Golden Age of Norway
Norgesveldet var Norges glanstid i perioden fra år 1217 til 1319 (tenk på Grønland, Færøyene, Hjaltland, Orkenøyene, Suderøyene og Man. Tenk på grunnleggelsen av Tunsberg, Nidaros, Bjørgvin og Oslo) Bryggen er nok nyere. Likevel kan en vel få en aning av disse "forna dar".

The Norwegian might/majesty/power/dominion
Also, "reign" might be appropriate.

Maybe a tourist could make him(her)self aquainted with the pertaining terms for a display, and not just \'consume\' it? :)

: Doesn't communicate anything meaningful. Dominion might do, but what does it mean to a tourist?
