includes Vesterålen and Ofoten as well (three hospitals: Harstad, Narvik and Stokmarknes). So i would say that the modern time definition is broader than the municipalities you mention here.

Perhaps not, but it is still a common theory. Morever, most Scandinavian names are quite changed in Jordanes' version, so I would not remove it from the article.--

Really? Why isn't Vesterålen included? Or Evenes, Narvik and Ballangen? The current Hålogaland police district includes Vesterålen and Ofoten. And Hålogaland
