	Olaf II of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Olav II Haraldsson (995 – July 29, 1030), king from 1015–1028, (known during his lifetime as the Stout and after his death as Saint Olav), was born in the year in which Olav Tryggvasson came to Norway.
		Olav is the modern equivalent in Norwegian, formerly often spelled Olaf.
		Owing to Olav'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 Olav.

		After some years' absence in England, fighting the Danes, he returned to Norway in 1015 and declared himself king, obtaining the support of the five petty kings of the Uplands.
		He had annihilated the petty kings of the South, had crushed the aristocracy, enforced the acceptance of Christianity throughout the kingdom, asserted his suzerainty in the Orkney Islands, had humbled king Olof Skötkonung of Sweden and married his daughter in his despite, and had conducted a successful raid on Denmark.
		Miracles were worked at his tomb, and in 1164 he was canonized and was declared the patron saint of Norway, when his fame spread throughout Scandinavia and even to England, where churches are dedicated to him.
