	Olaf II of Norway Summary
		Olaf was a son of Harold Graenske, a magnate, or kinglet, in eastern Norway and presumably related to Harold I Fairhair, the first king of Norway.
		Olaf II Haraldsson (995 – July 29 1030), king from 1015–1028, (known during his lifetime as the Stout and after his canonization 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.

		In the process of unifying Norway into a single kingdom, which took place during the period from 900 to 1030, the many royal pretenders of the Fairhair line soon felt the need for a national assembly to hail the high king of the realm.
		To be sure, this law never achieved the force of law in Norway, but the laws of royal succession enacted in the 13th century reiterated the designation of the Øyrating as the national assembly for hailing the king of the realm.
		In his decision to be consecrated, King Olaf V laid the foundation for continuing a tradition with roots going back to the hailing by the Øyrating and to the coronations of the Norwegian kings from 1163 to 1906.
