The play revolves around the power struggles and personal ambitions of various noble characters in Norway during the 13th century, particularly focusing on the character of Hookon Hookoninpoika, who is vying for the kingship amidst conflict and rivalry. The narrative delves into themes of legitimacy, duty, and the impact of personal choices on political landscapes. The opening of the play unfolds in the churchyard of Bergen, where characters gather for a significant event: the "raudankannanta," a ceremony that determines the legitimacy of Hookon as a king. As anxiety and anticipation fill the air, Skule Jaarli and Nikolaus Piispa express premonitions of turmoil ahead. The moment culminates with Inga Varteigin's announcement that Hookon has passed the trial of carrying the iron, proving his right to claim the throne. The stage is set for conflict as various factions within the royal court grapple with their ambitions and alliances, hinting at the intricate interplay of personal and political motives that will drive the plot forward.
