St. Olaf was created in 995, the boy of the Norwegian the almighty named Harald Grenske, the truly amazing grand son of Harald Fairhair, and Asta Gudbransdatter. Olaf was raised inherited of his stepfather, Sigurd Byr of Ringarike. From age 12, he continued expeditions towards the Baltic coast, Denmark and also the Netherlands. Between 1009 and 1013 he fought against under Thorkell the Tall from the British at London, Ringmere and Canterbury. For some time he would be a captain of mercenaries for Duke Richard of Normandy, as well as in 1013 or 1014 he was transformed into the Belief of Christ and baptized in Rouen. He then joined the service from the exiled British King Ethelred and adopted him to England, where he fought against around the British side in the taking based in london Bridge. Once the Danish King Canute mastered England, Olaf became a member of his service.

Based on the Saga of St. Olaf, the 2 males were in the beginning great buddies. However, King Canute then grew to become jealous from the more youthful guy. Furthermore, the Saga continues, "the bishop [St. Sigfrid, enlightener of Sweden] always anxiously waited for Olaf at Divine service, although not for Canute, and also the bishop known as Olaf king, which Canute couldn't bear to listen to, and spoke towards the bishop about this such strong words the latter needed to desist, due to the king's authority, for that king's heart was filled to filled with pride and ambition, due to his energy and put. So things continued until it found Given. Then Canute started to speak with Sigfrid: 'Is it correct that you known as Olaf through the title of king this winter? Now how can you defend what you are saying, as he doesn't have settled country nor wears a crown?'

"'It holds true, my the almighty, ' stated the bishop, 'that he's no land here, and that he wears no crown of silver or gold. Nay, rather is he selected and crowned through the greatest The almighty and Ruler, the King of nobleman, the main one almighty God, to rule and govern that kingdom that he's born, which special future awaits him, to rule a kingdom for that comfort and profit of those, and also to yield to God the fitting fruit of his entering his kingdom. Everyone in Norwegian and also the lands tributary into it, and never these parts only, but believe it or not the entire region from the north too, shall have need to remember and bear in mind this pillar and support of God's Christendom, who'll root out all brambles and weeds from God's area and winery, and sow within their stead the noble seed of God's holy words. Each one of these words will flourish and are available to master growth, and each guy who accepts them will themself be acceptable towards the greatest King of paradise, world without finish.'

"King Canute stated: 'You can't be stated to possess made good the language which we're said have spoken, my the almighty Bishop, proclaiming he far outshines the us in miraculous benefits, most importantly if one makes so excellent a among us, that you simply report that we show no benefits whatsoever.'
