Hákon III of Norway, also known as Hákon Hákonarson, was a king who ruled from 1204 to 1207. He was a member of the House of Knýtlinga and the son of Hákon II of Norway. His reign was marked by internal conflicts and struggles for power among the nobility, which were common during this period in Norway. Hákon III's rule was relatively short, and he faced challenges from rival factions, including the Birkebeiner and Bagler parties. His death in 1207 led to further instability in Norway, as the power struggle continued among various claimants to the throne.
