PRELIMINARY REMARKS.

Snorri's account of Olaf Kyrre corresponds with the statements found in

"Agrip", "Fagrskinna", and "Morkinskinna".

There are but few events in Olaf's long reign, and hence he is very

appropriately called the Quiet (Kyrre). As Hildebrand says, this saga

seems to be written simply to fill out the empty space between Harald

Hardrade and Magnus Barefoot.

Skalds quoted in this saga are: Stein Herdison and Stuf.
