Saga of Olaf Kyrre

Preliminary Remarks

Snorri’s account of Olaf Kyrre corresponds with the statements found in “Agrip”, “Fagrskinna”, and “Morkinskinna”.

There are but few events in Olaf’s long reign, and hence he is very appropriately called the Quiet (Kyrre). As Hildebrand says, this saga seems to be written simply to fill out the empty space between Harald Hardrade and Magnus Barefoot.

Skalds quoted in this saga are: Stein Herdison and Stuf.
