The protocols of the Løgting assemblies and its other archives from 1852 up to the present are kept at the Faroese National Archive in Tórshavn. The Løgting's protocols from 1615 to 1816 are also preserved at the National Archive. The total archives of the Løgting contain the most important sources of Faroese history.

King Ferdinand the Catholic, after defeating Jean d'Albret, annexed most of Navarre in 1515. In 1511 or 1516 Spanish Navarra, the part of Navarre south of the Pyrenees (the majority of the kingdom), was finally annexed by Ferdinand the Catholic. He later ceded it to his daughter Queen Joanna I of Castile whereby Spanish Navarre was regarded as a dominion of Castile, not of Aragon. Spanish Navarre was governed as a viceroyalty and not formally annexed to the kingdom of Spain until 1833. The history of the two divisions of the country is identical until the year 1512, when Spanish Nava ...

The kingdom of Pamplona and then Navarre formed part of the traditional territory of the Vascones— a pre-roman tribe; who occupied the southern slope of the western Pyrenees and part of the shore of the Bay of Biscay. Little is known of the earliest history of the country, but it is certain that neither the Romans nor the Visigoths nor the Arabs ever succeeded in permanently subjugating the inhabitants of the Western Pyrenees, who had always retained their own language. In the course of the 6th century there was a considerable emigration o ...

The Reconquista is a process not only of war and conquest, but mainly of repopulating. Christian kings took their own people to abandoned places, in order to have population capable to defend the borders. The main repopulation areas were the Duero basin (the northern plateau), the high Ebro valley (La Rioja) and central Catalonia. Repopulation appeared as the result of Berbers abandoning the land that they were given and the population growth of the Christian kingdoms. The Duero Basin was repopulated in two different ways, in two different p ...

In 1906, the first political parties in the Faroes were founded: Sambandsflokkurin (Unionists) and Sjálvstýrisflokkurin (Independance Party). While Sjálvstyri doesn't play a major role after World War II, Samband is still among the four big parties, of which each has about 20%: Javnaðarflokkurin (Social Democrats), Fólkaflokkurin (People's Party) and Tjóðveldisflokkurin (Republicans). A coalition between all that parties is possible, but unthinkable between SambandSee also:

According to the Home Rule Act the various branches of legislative power are divided into an A-sector and a B-sector. The several branches within the A-sector can be taken over by the Løgting, if ...

A high degree of self-governance was attained in 1948 with the passing of the Act of Faroese Home Rule. Faroese was now an official language, though Danish is still taught as a second language in schools. The Faroese flag was also officially recognised by Danish authorities. In 1973 Denmark joined the European Community (now European Union). The Faroes refused to join, mainly over the issue of fishing limits. The 1980's saw an increase in support for Faroese independence. Unemployment was very low, and the Faroese were enjoying ...
