About this person
Olaf was born around 1050, the son of Sweyn II Estridsson, in a dynasty where brothers took turns at the throne. When his brother Canute IV the Holy was killed in 1086, Olaf became the third of Sweyn's sons to rule Denmark. He married Ingegard, daughter of Harald Hardråde, but the marriage produced no sons. His reign lasted nine years, ending with his death on 18 August 1095, after which the crown passed to yet another brother, Eric the Good.
