Stikklestad Day: Olaf the Lawbreaker

Stikklestad Day: Olaf the Lawbreaker (“St. Olaf”) was killed at the battle of Stikklestad on this date in the year 1030 AD. Olaf acquired a reputation for killing, maiming, and exiling his fellow Norwegians who would not convert to Christianity, and for carrying an army with him in violation of the law to help him accomplish his oppression. Today honor the Ásatrú martyrs who died rather then submit to gray slavery. Also honor the warriors who brought justice to the Lawbreaker.
