This is the life story of a Viking hero, canonized as a Christian saint and proclaimed the "eternal king of Norway." For Norwegians, Olav Haraldsson is an even more important figure than Arthur is for the British, but unlike the British "once and future king," Olav was a real person. Participating in Viking sea raids from an early age, he was a glorious conqueror. Yet, it was he who doomed the Viking way of life, forcing Norway to abandon its ancient gods. Today, Vikings have become objects of cult worship, featuring in TV series and best-selling novels. Yet, outside of Norway and a small circle of historians, Olav is virtually unknown. Desmond Seward has filled this void with a dramatic and gripping biography of King Olav.
