Lady Inger at Austraat (Fru Inger til Østråt) is a period piece written by Henrik Ibsen in 1857. This is one of his most known historical plays, and historical domain characters are abundant. Lady Inger was a Norwegian noblewoman sitting at her estate in Trøndelag, and was close to the circles of power at the time. The play goes pretty deep into her agonies concerning the fate of Norway, and the decisions she has to make considering both her daughters, her situation, and her future. Emmisaries from Denmark and Sweden, as well as Norwegian nobles, plot in different directions around her, and difficult decisions has to be made. At the same time, there is rebellion in Sweden, and the farmers in Norway strive to join, but their mission is already doomed, as is the future of lady Inger. The year of the play is 1528, and it is clear that any struggle for independence is bound to fail.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Artistic Licence – History: Where to begin? Ibsen exaggerates some of the events for the Rule of Cool, and for the sake of national sentiments. It is not entirely certain that the Norwegian noblemen were present at Akershus fortress the day Knut Alvsson was murdered (in fact, the Norwegian nobility was in doubt on how to handle him), and in Oslo, sympathy was on the Danish side. Furthermore, the eldest daughter of Inger, Lucia, is said to be dead at this point of time. In fact, she was alive and had a child with Niels Lykke. The most aggravating example of this is the implied affair between Inger and the Swedish rebel leader Sten Sture, and their son Nils. This is definitely an artistic licence on behalf of Ibsen. Real life Inger died on a boat accident with her daughter Lucia as late as 1555 - and certainly not in 1528 as the play states.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

When the peasants wish to take up arms at the start of the play, they and Inger discuss using boats across the fjord. At this point, Geography seems to be in place. The Artistic Licence kicks in later, when Nils Stensson asks for troops, only to get ambushed. Did Inger forget her own geography on the way?
