Biography[edit | edit source]

When Ivarr the Boneless traveled to Ireland to participate in more Viking raids, Olaf met with him and offered him a seat at his table. Olaf told Ivarr of his plan to return to Scotland. Having already fought with the Picts, Olaf desired to defeat the Bretons next, and was mighty pleased when Ivarr pledged his axe to fight the Bretons with him.[2]
