Note

Olaf I, full name Olaf Tryggvason (968-1000), king of Norway (995-1000). A
great-grandson of King Harold I, he was Brought up in Russia and later
participated in numerous Viking raids along the Baltic and North Sea
coasts and in the British Isles. During his last campaign, in England
(994) with Sweyn I Forkbeard of Denmark, he was converted to Christianity,
and the following year he returned to Norway, where a rebellion had
erupted against the pagan Earl Haakon (937?-95). The victorious Olaf
founded the city of Nidaros (now Trondheim) as his capital and set out to
Christianize the country. Only partly successful in Norway, his efforts
contributed to the conversion of Iceland, Greenland, and the Faeroe
Islands to Christianity. Olaf's forces were defeated by a coalition
consisting of Sweyn Forkbeard, King Olaf of Sweden (died 1022?), and the
two sons of Earl Haakon in the naval Battle of Svold (1000), during which
Olaf lost his life.
