<P>Ok, I was wrong then, but I meant that the coronation was in 2006, and that was when he legally became Norway's king. The election was just an election...</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Wrong!
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>The coronation was held on June 22nd 1906, but Haakon VII was elected king
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>by the parliament (Stortinget) on November 18th 1905 (after a referendum
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>held in November 12-13 1905) and the royal family arrived Christiania

<DIV></DIV>>(=Oslo) on November 25th the same year.
