Your answer was: Iceland. |
Answer: Near the end of the 10th century, King Olaf I of Norway convinced his subjects to accept Christianity in Iceland. He then sent Christian missionaries to Iceland, where they were quickly accepted. Around 1000 Icelanders made a peaceful decision that all should convert. Despite this, Iceland's ruling class, maintained their power. Some built their own churches; others were ordained. Holar was the Episcopal see for northern Iceland and a cultural and educational center for almost seven centuries (1106-1798). It was founded as a diocese in 1106 by bishop Jón Ögmundsson and soon became one of Iceland's two main centers of learning.
