A Norwegian locality associated with Øystein I's death in 1123.
Hustad in Møre og Romsdal on the Norwegian coast was where Øystein I of Norway died in 1123, before his co-ruling brother Sigurd the Crusader. His death ended the cooperative joint reign that had characterized Norwegian kingship during the brothers' shared rule.
Øystein I is remembered for domestic building projects — roads, harbors, and churches — during his reign alongside Sigurd, contrasting with Sigurd's crusading campaigns. His death at Hustad left Sigurd as sole ruler and set the conditions for the succession instability that followed Sigurd's own death in 1130.
