Sverre's funeral speech can be found here. It's a true masterpiece that far too few will ever read. Fornadan (t) 18:13, 12 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

I don't think we can really say Sverre's speech honoured Erling. The first half is fairly clearly mockery of Archbishop Eystein, and the second half is a condemnation of pretty much everything Erling had done in the previous twenty years. There's a degree of respect there, but not praise. Sverre's just glad he's dead, and he's twisting the knife. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.35.66 (talk) 19:47, 17 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
