| Abstract: | Data from general tax commissions held in Sunnfjord Fogderi, Norway, reveal a substantial decline in rural prosperity between
1667 and 1723. Late seventeenth and eighteenth century incidence of serious physical damage to farmlands is documented in
tax relief proceedings. Environmental deterioration characterised the early years of the Little Ice Age in western Norway. |
