Royal mottos of Norwegian monarchs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Royal mottos (Norwegian: valgspråk/valspråk) of the Norwegian monarchs are an old tradition of Norway, permanent since the reign of Christian II of Denmark and Norway. The latest three kings have adopted the same motto as their personal motto, Alt for Norge, that has a particularly high standing as it became one of the main symbols of the Norwegian struggle during the German occupation in World War II; by coincidence, these are also all three kings since the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden, so modern independent Norway has never had another royal motto.
