Saint Thorfinn of Hamar was a Norwegian bishop who lived in the late 13th century, serving as Bishop of Hamar until his exile by King Eric II "Priesthater" of Norway. Little is known of his early life, but he likely hailed from Trøndelag, possibly Trondheim, and may have been a Cistercian monk before his episcopal role. Thorfinn gained prominence for supporting Archbishop Jon Raude against the king’s revocation of the 1277 Tønsberg Concord, which upheld Church privileges. Exiled after 1282, he endured hardships, including a shipwreck, before finding refuge at the Cistercian Ter Doest Abbey in Flanders, where he died on January 8, 1285. His sanctity emerged posthumously when, around 1335, his tomb was opened, revealing a sweet perfume and a preserved poem by monk Walter de Muda, sparking his veneration. | Saint Thorfinn of Hamar was a Norwegian bishop who lived in the late 13th century, serving as Bishop of Hamar until his exile by King Eric II "Priesthater" of Norway.
