Arnold of Bergen

Arnold of Bergen (Norwegian: Arend) (died 1434) was bishop of Bergen, Norway, and a non-ordained, short-lived Archbishop of Uppsala, Sweden.

In 1432, Olaus Laurentii was elected by the Chapter to become Archbishop of Uppsala and Sweden. Following the election, the King Eric of Pomerania expressed his displeasure that he had not been consulted. In response, he decided in 1433 while Olaus Laurentii was in Rome to be ordained that Arnold of Bergen should become Archbishop. Arnold moved into the bishop's palace in Uppsala causing a dispute between the two men.

The dispute ended with Arnold's death in 1434. Following Arnold's death, the king accepted Olaus Laurentii as Archbishop.
