When King Magnus came to Denmark he was joyfully received. He appointed
a Thing without delay, to which he summoned the people of the country,
and desired they would take him as king, according to the agreement
which had been entered into. As the highest of the chiefs of the country
were bound by oath to King Magnus, and were desirous of keeping their
word and oath, they endeavoured zealously to promote the cause with
the people. It contributed also that King Canute the Great, and all his
descendants, were dead; and a third assistance was, that his father King
Olaf's sanctity and miracles were become celebrated in all countries.
