When the Althing was dissolved in 1800, Iceland lost its ancient parliament — the one that had met at Þingvellir since 930. For decades, the country was governed from Copenhagen with little local say. Then, in 1843, a royal decree changed everything. This episode traces the story of how the Althing was reborn in Reykjavík in 1845, the political maneuvering that made it possible, and the key figures — Jón Sigurðsson, the Danish king Christian VIII, and the governor-count Jørgen Ditlev Trampe — who shaped the new assembly. We talk about why Reykjavík replaced Þingvellir, the limits of the restored parliament's powers, and how this partial victory fueled Iceland's broader push for home rule. For anyone who has wondered how a nation's oldest parliament can be killed and then resurrected, this is the episode. #Althing #Iceland #JónSigurðsson #Þingvellir #Reykjavík #ChristianVIII #HomeRule #HistoryOfIceland #1845 #Parliament #JørgenDitlevTrampe #DanishRule #NationalIdentity #19thCentury #Politics #FexingoHistory #History #NorthernEurope Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
