254. OF KING OLAF'S SANCTITY.

This winter (A.D. 1031) many in the Throndhjem land began to declare

that Olaf was in reality a holy man, and his sanctity was confirmed by

many miracles. Many began to make promises and prayers to King Olaf in

the matters in which they thought they required help, and many found

great benefit from these invocations. Some in respect of health, others

of a journey, or other circumstances in which such help seemed needful.
