Summary "Olaf the Glorious: A Story of the Viking Age" by Robert Leighton is a historical narrative likely written during the late 19th century. The story centers on real-life King Olaf Triggvison of Norway, tracing his journey from a slave in Esthonia, through his adventures as a Viking, his conversion to Christianity, and his eventual return to Norway. The book blends historical events with personal anecdotes from Olaf's life, immersing readers in the challenges and battles faced by this iconic figure of the Viking Age. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Olaf’s world and sets the stage for his remarkable life story. The reader is first introduced to Sigurd Erikson, a nobleman who encounters a gifted boy, Olaf, performing knife tricks at a port in Esthonia. Through this interaction, we learn that Olaf is actually the son of King Triggvi. The chapter also outlines Olaf's backstory of tragedy and hardship, revealing his mother's flight and the danger posed by those who murdered his father, King Triggvi. As Olaf wrestles with his identity and circumstances of slavery, the groundwork is laid for his growing ambitions and the conflict with the Viking Klerkon, which foreshadows a violent confrontation that will serve as a pivotal moment in his journey.
