A teenage king who wore two crowns before he could grow a beard. Olaf ruled both Denmark and Norway in personal union during the 1380s, dying at sixteen and leaving the thrones to his mother — who would go on to unite Scandinavia.
About
Born in December 1370, Olaf Hákonsson came to the Danish throne in 1376 as Oluf II, his claim running through his mother's royal blood. Four years later, in 1380, his father Haakon VI of Norway died, and the boy inherited that crown too, reigning there as Ólafr IV. For seven years he held both kingdoms in personal union, a rare double monarchy in medieval Scandinavia. On 3 August 1387, still only sixteen, he died. The thrones passed to his mother, who would forge them into the Kalmar Union.
