July 29 St. Olaf II

St. Olaf started his adult life as a pirate, raiding the Irish and English coastline. Eventually, one of those monks managed to convert him. He brought the same blood lust zeal to converting his homeland, especially after he became king. Needless to say, the Norwegian pagans did not appreciate his efforts and ran him off to Russia. He attempted to take back his throne through battle, but was killed in the action. He is also known as Oslo the Fat and Oslo the Thick. He is considered a hero of Norway.
