 | | While Cnut consolidated his control of England, Olav Haraldson, who had been allied with King Æthelred, returned to Norway and was accepted as king by some of the districts and fought and conquered others. |
 | | Olav probably intended to have the Norwegian church under the jurisdiction of Canterbury, but because his enemy, Cnut, controlled England, Olav requested Archbishop Unwan of Hamburg-Bremen to accept his bishops, Siegfried, Grimkil, Rudolf and Bernhard, and to send others. |
 | | Like Olav Trygvason before him, Olav Haraldson required his people to be baptized and those that would not were killed, mutilated, or driven out. |
