Olof I of Sweden

Olof was the king of Sweden when Ansgar made his second voyage to Birka in the year 854. He is said to have pillaged and conquered Kurland. He was a son of Björn at Hauge's. He is mentioned by Adam of Bremen and by Rimbert.

He was contemporary with Erik Anundsson of the Icelandic sources, and probably his brother and co-ruler.
