Princess Agnes Haakonsdatter of Norway (Old Norse: Agnes Hákonardottir; 1290 – 1319) was the oldest daughter of King Haakon V of Norway by Gro Sigurdsdatter, daughter of Sigurd Lodinsson and wife Baugeid Steinarsdatter[1] and as such the prime heir.
However, as King Haakon V had somehow forgotten to officially marry her mother, prior to arranging Princess Agnes' conception, it was eventually decided that for political concerns, Princess Agnes and her descendants were moved 1 level down of the list of inheritance and her younger sister Ingeborg Haakonsdatter was moved 1 step up on the list inheritance. This meant that the Norwegian Throne would be passed through her younger sister Ingeborg Haakonsdatter, but that Princess Agness and her descendants remained the rightful heirs to the throne, if Ingeborg's line failed.
