Description

We have restored this copy of a 1685 engraving of Nordic Celtic Medieval Viking King Olaf I, House of Estridsen, of Denmark who lived circa 1050-1095. This rare portrait was created by an unknown artist. This engraving is currently in the collection of The Royal Library of Denmark [Det Kongelige Bibliotek]. King Olaf I is also known as Saint Olaf.
Olaf I, also known as Olaf Hunger, was king of Denmark from 1086 to 1095, after the death of his brother Canute IV the Holy. Olaf I was a son of king Sweyn II Estridsen, and he was the third of Sweyn's sons to reign as king. Olaf married Ingegard, the daughter of Harald Hardråde, and produced no sons. King Olaf I was succeeded by his brother Eric the Good.
