Norway is now faced with the choice between a union with Sweden or Denmark, or electing a separate king.

The latter option is quickly discarded, and a power-struggle ensues between the supporters of Christian of Denmark and Charles of Sweden, with both kings gaining support from various factions in the Norwegian Council of the realm.

In February 1449, a part of the Council had declared in favor of Charles as king, but on June 15 of the same year, a different group of councilors pays homage to Christian.
