The new royal family arrived in Norway on 25 November. King Haakon VII (formerly Prince Carl) and Queen Maud were crowned in a ceremony in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim 22 June 1906.[4] SummaryOn 7 June 1905, the Parliament approved the dissolution of the union with Sweden; as a result, Swedish King Oscar II abdicated as King of Norway. He refused the reconciliation offer to allow a Swedish prince to take the Norwegian throne.[2] So, Parliament turned to the Danish Prince Carl. In addition to the positive personal qualities, it was pointed out that he was Scandinavian and would understand the Norwegian language and culture. Through Princess Maud, he had close ties to the United Kingdom and the British royal family, and an heir to the throne was already guaranteed through his son, the two-year-old Alexander.[2] In Norway, it was debated whether the new government would be a monarchy or a republic. Prince Carl demanded that the issue should be submitted to a referendum, as he wanted an assurance that a majority of the population wanted Norway to remain as a monarchy.[2] The question posed was: {{Quote|Enig i Stortingets bemyndigelse til regjeringen om at opfordre prins Carl af Danmark til at lade sig vælge til Norges konge?(Do you agree with the Storting's authorization to the government to invite Prince Carl of Denmark to become King of Norway?)}} A majority voted for monarchy, and on 18 November the Parliament selected Prince Carl as king. The Speaker of Parliament sent him a telegram and offered him the throne of Norway.[2] The prince accepted the election, and on 25 November 1905 the new Norwegian royal family landed at Vippetangen in Christiania (Oslo). He took the name Haakon and gave his son the name Olav, names that linked the new royal house to the Norwegian kings from the Middle Ages. On 22 June 1906, King Haakon and Queen Maud were crowned in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.[2] Results
