		King Harald heard that the vikings, who were in the West sea in winter, plundered far and wide in the middle part of Norway; and therefore every summer he made an expedition to search the isles and out-skerries (1) on the coast.
		King Athelstan gave Hakon a sword, of which the hilt and handle were gold, and the blade still better; for with it Hakon cut down a mill-stone to the centre eye, and the sword thereafter was called the Quernbite (1).

	Nordic Culture > Saint Olaf, Patron Saint of Norway - Scandinavica.com
		Olaf Haraldsson, born in AD 995, was a viking who raided throughout western Europe and the Baltic until his return to Norway in 1015, where he was elected king of the Norwegians with the support of the Upland chieftains.
		His reign was rather typical for a king of the Viking Age: he defeated his oposition and governed as the King of Norway for a decade until he had to leave the throne to a more powerful king: Canute the Great of Denmark and England.
		The reason King Olaf is so famous in Norwegian history is because he is traditionally considered to have converted Norway into Christianity and have been the unifying force behind Norway.
