The House of Torgar (Norwegian: Torgarætten) is the name of two aristocratic dynasties in Norway. Emerging in the 9th century, the older line were chieftains at Torget in Hålogaland, that is, Northern Norway. Also known as the House of William (Norwegian: Viljalmsætten), ultimately named after William the Conqueror, the younger line was established in 1067 by Ketil Hook, a son of the Earl of Northumbria.
