Nine of them ended their careers as bishops in the Baltic and Scandinavia. The hypothesis in this article is that the Scandinavian papal penitentiaries were intermediates between a geographic periphery of Christendom and the papacy, and contributed to a further centralisation of the universal church. For this purpose it gives a comprehensive biography of the Scandinavian papal penitentiaries in context.}, journal={Collegium Medievale}, author={Haug, Eldbjørg}, year={2008}, month={nov.} }
