==Location== Defense of the city of Trondheim and the location of Sverresborg was based on three key topographical features: The city is located on a peninsula bordered on the east and south by the river Nidelva and on the north by the Trondheimsfjord The neck connecting the peninsula to the mainland was quite narrow and could be easily fortified A glacially-carved-rock hill just to the south dominates the city and provides an easily fortified site (location of Sverresborg)
