Haakon [VII] - Haakon

Japanese: ホーコン[7世] - ホーコン
Haakon [VII] - Haakon
King of Norway. Reigned 1905-1957. Son of Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik (later King VIII). Norway had been a vassal state of Denmark for a long time, and the Danish king was also the king of Norway. In 1814, Sweden replaced Denmark and formed a personal union with Norway. On June 7, 1905, the Norwegian parliament declared independence, and in November, Danish Prince Carl was welcomed as King Haakon VII of Denmark as King of Norway. When Norway planned independence in 1814, Carl's grandfather, Christian IX, showed support for the realization of the plan, and so his grandson Carl was chosen. Prince Carl requested a national referendum before accepting the throne, and ascended to the throne after receiving the majority's support. When the German army invaded Norway on April 9, 1940, at the beginning of World War II, King Haakon VII, government ministers, and members of parliament fled to central Norway. The German envoy urged the King to surrender, but he refused, and on June 7th fled to London with his cabinet members. Hitler forced Parliament to decide to depose the King, but the King also refused this decision and remained in London until the end of the war. The people fought through five years of German occupation under the direction of the government in exile in London, and the King became the spiritual pillar of the people's resistance against the Nazis.

ノルウェーイ国王。在位1905年−1957年。デンマーク皇太子フレゼリク(のちの8世)の息子カール。ノルウェーは長らくデンマークの属国的立場にあり,デンマーク王がノルウエー王を兼ねていたが,1814年にスウェーデンがデンマークにとって代わり,ノルウェーと〈同君連合〉を結ぶ。1905年6月7日ノルウェー国会は独立を宣言,11月にデンマーク王子カールがホーコン7世として独立ノルウェーの国王に迎えられた。1814年ノルウェーが独立を画策した際,カールの祖父クリスチャン9世がその実現に理解を示したことから,その孫カールに白羽の矢が立ったのである。カール王子は王位受諾の前に国民投票を望み,多数の賛同を得たのち即位した。第2次大戦初期の1940年4月9日,ドイツ軍がノルウェーに侵攻すると,ホーコン7世と政府大臣,国会議員らは中部ノルウェーに逃れた。ドイツ公使は降伏をすすめたが国王はこれを拒否し,6月7日閣僚らとともにロンドンに亡命。ヒトラーは国王廃位の決定を議会に強制したが,国王はこの決定も拒否して大戦終結までロンドンに留まった。国民はロンドンの亡命政府の指示によりドイツ占領下の5年間を戦い抜き,国王は国民の対ナチス抵抗運動の精神的支柱となった。
