King Olave returns to Norway and is slain
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Ingram/Giles translation) records under 1030 that King Olave returned into Norway, where the people gathered and fought against him, and he was slain there by his own people and was afterwards canonised.
Limits: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a monastic chronicle, used here through a 19th-century English translation (this e-text gives J. Ingram's translation, with excerpts of J. A. Giles's translation collated in by its preparer; the Old English was not checked); this records what this translation of the Chronicle says, not independent confirmation. A passage from J. A. Giles's translation, collated into this e-text in double parentheses under the same year, gives a shorter account without the canonisation.
