Jarlshola

Jarlshola (English: The Cave of the Jarl) is a small cave in Melhus Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The cave is near the small Rimul farm, just outside the village of Melhus. It is thought to be the hiding place of Håkon Sigurdsson (also known as Hákon Sigurðsson, Hákon Earl) and Tormod Kark (or Þormóðr Karkr, the slave of the Jarl) on their last night before the infamous murder at Rimul.
