Henrik Ibsen

Lady Inger of Ostrat Henrik Ibsen

Set in 1528, "Lady Inger of Ostrat" is Henrik Ibsen's historical drama based on Lady Inger of Austraat, who was the wealthiest Norwegian land-owner of her era. Swedish protesters of Danish rule of Norway, which since the Union of Kalmar in 1397 has largely become a province of Denmark, approach Lady Inger for her support in an insurrection against the Danes. As the fate of the nation of Norway lies in the balance, great political and personal intrigue abounds in this classic Ibsen drama.
