Source-derived summary

Vangshøe is a mountain in Lesja Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The 1,658-metre (5,440 ft) tall mountain lies about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north of the village of Lesjaverk. The mountain is surrounded by several other mountains including Merratind which is about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) to the west, Svarthøi which is about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) to the northwest, and Storhøi and Blåhøe which are about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) to the northwest.

Editorial summary

“Vangshøe” enters the record as mountain in Norway. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Vangshøe, mountain and Norway can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current 74-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Vangshøe, mountain and Norway.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Vangshøe” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Vangshøe, mountain and Norway provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3441743.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
