Olavs most important act as king, was to Christianize huge parts of his kingdom, though sometimes he had to use violence.
Olav is the founder of Nidaros and he is supposed to have raised a church at Moster.
Olav was approved king together with his brothers Øystein and Sigurd Jorsalfar, but since he wasn't king over the whole country, he does not belong within the official row of kings.

 Olaf Magnusson of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Olaf became king together with his brothers Sigurd Jorsalfar and Øystein Magnusson when his father Magnus Barefoot died in 1103.
His historical insignificance is shown by the fact that later historians, when constructing ordinals for Norwegian monarchs, left Olaf out from numbering - he would have been Olaf IV but that ordinal is used for Olaf IV of Norway who reigned over two-and-half centuries later.
The late Olav V of Norway (d 1991) who clearly reigned using the official ordinal, would have been Olav VI, had this child-co-king been numbered.

 Olav - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
The given name Olav (Olaf, Olof, Olaus), the name of Saint Olav, patron of Norway, has also been borne by a number of other Norwegian kings.
Conventions of spelling remain quite fluid, with Norwegian predominantly using Olav, and Swedish most often using Olaf or Olof.
In its latinized form Olaf usually comes out as Olaus (with or without an umlaut on the "u"), as is the case for Olaf Petersson (a disciple of Martin Luther and one of the first preachers of the Reformation in Renaissance Sweden), who is also known as Olaus Petri.

The priest Are Frode (the learned), a son of Thorgils the son of Geller, was the first man in this country who wrote down in the Norse language narratives of events both old and new.
His narratives are considered by many men of knowledge to be the most remarkable of all; because he was a man of good understanding, and so old that his birth was as far back as the year after Harald Sigurdson's fall.
He wrote, as he himself says, the lives and times of the kings of Norway from the report of Od Kolson, a grandson of Hal of Sida.
