		It is well-known that monks in the new Valamo Monastery, resurrected in 1715-19 when Russia had reconquered the region, after it had been lost to Sweden in 1611, claimed that King Magnus was buried in the monastery.
		If the 18th-century legend of Magnus’ death on Valamo was not based on direct knowledge of the Testament, then it must reflect a local tradition with roots back to the original monastery before it was discontinued by the Swedish conquest in 1611.
		That, in turn, suggests that monks already in the original Valamo Monastery had identified a grave as belonging to King Magnus in the same way as Archbishop Evfimii had graves in the Sofiia Cathedral identified.
