1/4 Penning - Jon Raude

Jon Raude ("Jon the Red") served as Archbishop of Nidaros from 1268 to 1282, a tenure defined almost entirely by his ferocious conflict with the Norwegian crown. His dispute with Magnus Lagabøte over ecclesiastical jurisdiction and church property rights was among the most aggressive power struggles between secular and clerical authority in medieval Scandinavian history — Raude was eventually forced into exile in 1282, dying abroad the same year. The archbishopric's right to strike its own coinage was itself a privilege extracted through precisely these kinds of jurisdictional fights.
