23. OF KING OLAF'S DEATH.

King Olaf Magnuson fell into a sickness which ended in his death. He was

buried in Christ church in Nidaros, and many were in great grief at his

death. After Olaf's death, Eystein and Sigurd ruled the country, the

three brothers together having been kings of Norway for twelve years

(A.D. 1104-1115); namely, five years after King Sigurd returned home,

and seven years before. King Olaf was seventeen years old when he died,

and it happened on the 24th of December.
