There is a wrong wikilink here "to win back the kingdom after Knut the Great's vassal Håkon Jarl was lost at sea" The grandson of this Jarl is meant here. I dont know if there is an article about him in English. It is at least in Norwegian.

[edit] Olaf vs. Olav

You NEED to pick one and stick to it in this article. "Olav" is suddenly used as a section header name and then within that section without any prior reference. Very confusing. Moncrief 16:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

All the Olavs are with v not f in Norway. Inge 17:24, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Then you either need to change the whole article to "v" or keep it all "f." The point is you can't change the spelling of the subject of the article halfway through without explanation. It's called standardization and it's expected in all articles. Moncrief 19:55, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

This is english wikipedia, in England his name is spelt Olaf. Besides the ON spell was Olafr, the englsh spelling is therefore closer to his actual name than the modern Norsk spelling. SynthesiseD 00:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
