Köpstad, kungamakt och kyrka - några tankar om medeltidens Laholm

Nilsson, Ing-Marie LU (2003) In Utskrift 7. p.6-25
Abstract
The article discusses several aspects of the town Laholm in southern Halland in the Middle Ages, and it is put forward that royal influence may have been a significant factor in the urbanization process. The possible importance of the king in the introduction of the Christian faith in the Laholm area is also hinted, but the exact nature of Laholms medieval parish structure is difficult to comprehend. The development of the town church and other ecclesiastical institutions seem to indicate that the town did not experience any rapid growth during the later Middle Ages, but nevertheless remained an important local commecial centre.
