		Olav was the handsomest of men, very stout and strong, and in all bodily exercises he excelled every Northman that ever was heard of.

	Reconstruction of the 13th century St Olav frontal
		On either side of the middle of the central section is a horizontal frieze with representations of the four Evangelists' symbols – Mark, the lion; Matthew, the angel; John, the eagle; and Luke, the bull.
		Olav distributes money before the battle at Stiklestad, July 29th, 1030 A.D. The Icelandic medieval historian Snorre relates: "The king then took many silver marks and gave them to a freeman, saying: ’You shall keep this silver safe and disburse it afterwards.
