[113] Finn Jonsson, Hist. eccl. Islandiæ, ii, p. 198, says that most of the Bishops died, and that Ormus, Bishop of Holar, in Iceland, who happened then to be in Norway, solus fere evasit. It appears that the archbishopric of Nidaros, or Drontheim, at that time comprised seven sees. Changes appear in six of these at this time, including Drontheim and Bergen; and of Solomon, Bishop of Oslo, it is said that "he was the only Bishop who survived the plague" (Gams, Series Episcoporum, 336). The same account is given in the monastic chronicles of Iceland (Ftateyjarbok, iii, p. 562).
