    Olav Digre became Norways patrion saint after Christening Norway. He is called Norways eternal king. But you mix him with Harald Hårfagre (Harald Fairhair) that was the king who United Norway, about 200 years before the battle of Stiklestad.

    To torture with love. To death. She is just a random ignorant person trying to act like an interviewer, her knowledge doesn't go past middle school or maybe high school. Also the whole narrative is pretty biased and stupidly from one perspective, for example when they say "nazi", they don't show any historical nazis, they show a random american weirdo who was investigated quite extensively by FBI and nobody was able to find anything nazi-related on him. He, though, said he believes in god, love and angels, so he is quite close in his opinions to the christianity and it's "love". The problem is when someone uneducated is trying to judge such a complex thing as a society from culture a continent away a millennium ago... Yeah, she is gonna sound very stupid.

    TBF this was pretty standard behaviour in Europe right up until the mid-nineteenth century. Governments weren't fussy about imposing the state religion on people. Sweden prohibited Catholics from becoming teachers, physicians, Nurses etc right up until the mid 1950s
