Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Olaf Haraldsson (Old Norse Óláfr Haraldsson, 995 July 29, 1030) was king of Norway from 1015 to 1028. His mother was Åsta Gudbrandsdatter, and his father was Harald Grenske, great-grandchild of Harald Fairhair. In modern day Norway he is known as Olav den Hellige ("Olaf the Holy") or Heilag-Olav ("Holy Olaf") as a result of his sainthood. King Olaf Haraldsson of Norway had the given name Óláfr in Old Norse. Olav is the modern equivalent in Norwegian, formerly often spelt Olaf. His name in Icelandic is Ólafur, in Faroese Ólavur, in Danish Oluf, in Swedish Olof, the Norse-Gaels called him Amlaíb and in Waterford it is Olave. Other names, such as Oláfr hinn helgi, Olavus rex, and Olaf are used interchangeably. He is sometimes referred to as Rex Perpetuus Norvegiae, eternal King of Norway, a designation which goes back to the thirteenth century.
