Name:

Died:
Because of king Ivar Vidfamne and his harsh rule many Swedes emigrated to Värmland, and they became so numerous that the province could not sustain them. The land was afflicted by famine of which the Swedes accused the king. It was an old tradition in Sweden of holding the king responsible for the wealth of the land (see Domalde). The Swedes accused Olof of neglecting his sacrifices to the gods and believed that this was the cause of the famine.

The Swedish settlers thus rebelled against Olof, surrounded his house on the shores of lake Vänern and burnt him inside it. Thus he was sacrificed to Odin, like his ancestor Domalde.

Olaf married Solveig Halfdansdotter on yes date unknown. Solveig (daughter of Halfdan Solvesson "Guldand") was born in 688 in Solør, Norway; died in 704 in Trondheim, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
