- A lot of you may know Olaf Haraldsson from the show Vikings Valhalla. But today we will delve into the life of the real Olaf who would die a saint, but according to the sources his life was far more unholy than one would think. At one point Olaf was a feared Pagan and became a warrior in the Baltic region.
Over the years Olaf became a mystical figure and was a hero in folk traditions where he was the slayer of trolls and giants and the protector against malicious forces. He is even symbolised by the axe in Norway’s coat of arms and has his own day of celebration. So how did Olaf Haraldsson become Saint Olaf and what king of battles and trials would he face? This is his story.

Oh God that nigga was a tyrant
This channel presents in an effective manner: Clear voice, briskly paced, well illustrated, and covers history from the life of a legendary person. Thank you Ollie.
Thank you so much Bobert! Your comment really means a lot
Wow, Vikings Valhalla paid Olaf a great disservice.
Of course they did. They made Jarl Haakon a black woman because it’s important to have fake diversity.
@@AUZlE so they made it fantasy instead of somewhat historical accurate :/?
@@AUZlE or maybe she was just the best actress for the role lol
You should see what they did to the Jomsvikings. It’s a shame
@@jessrosefawkes2721 don't be dumb
It's nice to learn about the real life of the ancestors thank you so much for this upload!
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video!
❤❤thank you so much for the video
Very good work
Vikings Valhalla portraided him a as vilian.. They did him nasty
He was though, he betrayed his people
@@aleksr2329literally the opposite, his chieftains betrayed him before his last battle
@@uberfeel are you dumb? He christianized his pagan people
In my part of Norway we see him as a village and still celebrate Thorir Hund for killing him.
Tfsharing👋🏻 great channel. So glad you're still uploading.
Have a great week ahead~♡
Thank you so much for watching Nancy!
Enjoying these bios of the historical figures from the TV series, which itself is very good.
I've got to hand it to this channel, who needs fiction when you have stories from reality such as this?! Tales from the North sea empire...so awesome!!
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video Romano! There are many more videos to come!
@@historyprofiles I look forward to them. You've produced some excellent work my friend.
Awesome story! I enjoyed till the end. Illustration and sounds was really great! Thanks History Profiles
Thank you so much for watching Elke!
@@historyprofiles
Thank you! Love your channel!
I thought that vikings valhalla was going to be great, especially that it was more historical ( Leif Eriksson, olaf, haraldsson and so forth) but and I understand that it's a drama but at least they could have kept it somewhat close to history.
I agree William, I know they have to add some drama and make the story lines between the characters the same, but they just strays so far from history
Netflix got me here too.
Great series I didn't even know it had true characters. Yes it seems they strayed but at least it has pple talking and learning history. I am glad I found your channel.
@@jayn391 lol no
Thanks for another fantastic upload from the Viking age.
You are the best.
Thank you so much Diane! I hope you enjoyed the video!
You know, if Vikings Valhalla would stick closer to historical fact, it would be far, far, far more interesting than what it is.
I was reading the first musician's tale in Longfellow's Wayside Inn and came here to get some context. Thanks!
Cool thanks
Thank you for watching!
wow, this story would have been so much more epic, intense, and crazy on Vikings Valhalla lol
For one time I thought Vinland Saga, an anime portrayed better history than Netflix series😢
Wow, I didn't know that he became ,The Saint Olaf of The North.
There are shrines and places named after him all over Europe, the Middle East and in the US
I touched the rock olav died on its still at stiklestad
Great vídeo, but you left the eclipse out.
The thumbnail looks like Infidel Amsterdam. Noice.
I would like to read Nordic sagas, would anyone have some title suggestions?
The prose edda
Heimskringla; the best known of the Old Norse kings' sagas - a collection of sagas about Swedish and Norwegian kings, beginning with the saga of the legendary Swedish dynasty of the Ynglings, followed by accounts of historical Norwegian rulers from Harald Fairhair of the 9th century up to the death of the pretender Eystein Meyla in 1177. Awesome stuff.
Saint Olaf's saga.
Als men even doordenkt iets waar veel mensen een hekel aan hebben dan kan men concluderen wat heilig zijn waard is .
The chief was tall
My great something grandpa
I am from Stiklestad in Norway🫡
Some cultures have been highly reluctant to adopt Christianity, others have embraced it quickly and willingly. Norway was late to Christianity by European standards and it took a battle to cement the faith in the culture. Perhaps this is one of the reasons Norway is not a bastion of faith. I don`t doubt there have been highly devout Catholics, and also Lutherans following the reformation, but Norway has always seemed almost resentful toward religion, at least from my perspective. In my own country - Ireland, Catholism was adopted around the fifth century. There was probably some resistance but assuming there was, it is not widely known about today. For the first couple of centuries after becoming Catholic (the only Christianity at the time) Ireland thrived. The viking raids weekened our country, created divisions and even though we defeated the Norsemen, the damage had been done. Faction fighting became the norm as different Irish kings fought to become high king at Tara and this made the country vulnerable to invasions by the Normans (who eventually spoke Gaeilic and integrated) and later by the English who imposed their culture instead of adopting ours. Still, I believe in the fullness of time, everything will be as it should. That is faith. I believe the new grail in revelations is intended for the Catholic Church but not as it is or has been for most of it`s history but rather as it is supposed to be.
Golden girl Rose came from St Olaf .
Olav Trygvasson was king from 995 to 1000.
Woke Leftist produced series Vikings Valhalla portrayed him a as Vilian but in real life he was a Hero a Great Warrior-Olaf Haraldsson The defender Of Faith......💯🔥
I know they portray him as the evil tyrant Christian while his brother was the good Christian 😂
His Daughter Anne Olafsdauhhter married My GGFather Yaroslav the Wise ♡
Holy shit how do you trace your ancestry back so far ?
Eddie Hall
A Viking man can impress women by demonstrating how he takes his longship up a canal to deliver seeds which can be planted in fertile places.
Lol 🥰
@@vonderloo3184 👍
Cringe
I hate him. 😢😢😢
Shame on Netflix.
Vikings series got really woke I noticed.
I mean unless you're Jesus, everyone's family tree had some dirty tree #$%& pagan in their family tree.
Saint Olga is a literal saint and she burned several dozen and or hundred people alive in their own homes!
Would rather be accused of fucking trees than be known for fucking alter boys
All Saint had a past and all sinners have a future. Per Christum Dominum Nostrum. Amen.
Or if your Jewish
Narrator haven't even bothered to find out how to pronounce Norwegian names correctly.
Make your videos on them them since your the expert
I stopped watching Vikings Valhalla when i saw Jarl Haakon as a black woman.
I enjoyed the series
Patron Saint was a guy that murdered for a living.. pretty sure that is not part of Christ teachings.
I hope at least Catholic church didn't recognize him as that or they are an even bigger joke
Not every kind of killing is murder.
@@lordofhostsappreciator3075 sure but Vikings going to other people shore to raid is
He was declared a martyr a year after his death. The actions of a martyrs life do not matter, but what matters is him dying for Christ. I can't think of a single Norwegian church who does not celebrate him including Norwegian Protestants.
@@williamsmith6706 how did he die for Christ? Did Christ say to go out there and kill all pagans? Also he died while fighting other Christian Vikings for the throne of Norway. Nah, he was nothing but a petty warlord.
@Archangel they killed him for his faith. His rule over Norway was peaceful, and his actions resulted in the conversion of Norway. He fought wars in his younger years against vikings to try and save Anglo-Saxon rule over England. As a king, he has a spiritual duty to his people just as a police officer does to protecting the innocent. Was it wrong to try and save his people from pagans who sacrificed people?
Odin the one true god
Cringe.
Can he bear our sins? No.
I used to be a king of norway too, until I took an axe to the knee
Série wok de merde
