	Olaf Cuaran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When Olaf Guthfrithson died in 942, Olaf Cuaran succeeded him, finally recovering the throne of his father in addition to the throne of Dublin.
		Olaf managed to regain his lands in Northumbria in 949, only to be expelled again in 952, this time by Erik Bloodaxe.
		In 980, Olaf suffered a massive defeat at the Battle of Tara, which destroyed the power of the Danes in Ireland.

	Olaf II of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Olaf II Haraldsson (995 – July 29 1030), king from 1015–1028, (known during his lifetime as the Stout and after his death as Saint Olaf), was born in the year in which Olaf Tryggvasson came to Norway.
		Owing to Olaf's later status as the patron saint of Norway, and to his importance in later medieval historiography and in Norwegian folklore, it is difficult to assess the character of the historical Olaf.
		He was probably the only one of the missionary bishops who was left in the country at the time of Olaf's death, and he stood behind the translation and beatification of Olaf on August 3, 1031.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Olaf Haraldson
		It must be remembered that the resentment against Olaf was due not alone to his Christianity, but also in a high degree to his unflinching struggle against the old constitution of shires and for the unity of Norway.
		In 1856 a fine St. Olave's Church was erected in Christiania, the capital of Norway, where a large relic of St. Olaf (a donation from the Danish Royal Museum) is preserved and venerated.
		The arms of Norway are a lion with the battle-axe of St. Olaf in the forepaws.

	Encyclopedia: Olaf I of Norway
		In England he married Gyda, sister of Olaf Kvaran, king of Dublin, and it was only after some years spent in administering her property in England and Ireland that he set sail for Norway, fired by reports of the unpopularity of its ruler Earl Haakon.
		It has been suggested that Olaf's ambition was to rule a united, as well as a Christian Scandinavia, and we know that he made overtures of marriage to Sigrid the Haughty, queen of Sweden, and set about adding new ships to his fleet, when negotiations fell through owing to her obstinate heathenism.
		Olaf fought to the last on his great vessel the "Long Snake" (Ormen Lange), the mightiest ship in the North, and finally leapt overboard and was seen no more.

	Heimskringla: Saga of Olaf Haraldson: Part I
		Olaf went to the goats' pen, took out the he-goat that was the largest, led him forth, and put the king's saddle on him, and then went in and told King Sigurd he had saddled his riding horse.
		Olaf was very expert in all bodily exercises, understood well to handle his bow, and was distinguished particularly in throwing his spear by hand: he was a great swimmer, and very handy, and very exact and knowing in all kinds of smithwork, whether he himself or others made the thing.
		Olaf had much fewer men, but his ships were larger, and he had his ships between some blind rocks, which made it difficult for the vikings to get alongside; and Olaf's men threw grappling irons into the ships which came nearest, drew them up to their own vessels, and cleared them of men.

	St Olaf in San Miguel
		When the St. Olaf College Band traveled from Minneapolis to Mexico during its January 2004 interim study-tour, it brought and gave away enough musical instruments for a village to start their own concert band.
		The idea was suggested by a former St. Olaf student, David Brye, class of 1960, who is now semi-retired and lives in the Mexican state of Puebla, where San Miguel is located.
		The St. Olaf band and alumni teachers get the opportunity to learn about the culture, history and music of this region of Mexico—so the exchange broadens the cultural horizons of both the band and the villagers of San Miguel Tzinicapan, says Brye.

		King Olaf Haraldson, who was called by some Olaf Kyrre, but by many Olaf the Bonde, had a son by Thora, Joan's daughter, who was called Magnus, and was one of the handsomest lads that could be seen, and was promising in every respect.
