AKONSEE
"Akonsee" was derived from "Haakon's See." "See" (Latin) is a bishop's district. In 1524Verrazano stayed in a "Norman villa" in "Agonsee." (Stromsted, 1974)
Comment: Records during King Haakon Haakonson IV's reign are rare. He may have had the time to come to Akonsee first in 1247, when he had finally secured the throne from his competitors. King Haakon may have had the western trip already planned when the Pope offered him a naval commander position. He is recorded as having turned down a crusade role as overall naval commander. The stone tower in Newark, Rhode Island may have been constructed at King Haakon's command.
King Haakon may have returned to Haakon's See (Akonsee) in 1260. His daughter had been married the year before. Greenland and Iceland agreed to become subject to Norway in 1261 and 1262. A large naval fleet, arriving at the lands, may have inspired those agreements. King Haakon's fleet may have visited Akomac first in 1260.
