Olaf Godredsson, known as Olaf the Black, was the youngest son of the former king of Man and the Isles. Despite the fact that Olaf was the only one born in bedlock, and was nominated by King Godred as his heir, the nobles at the time of King Godred’s death favored the warlike Reginald for king, and he was crowned in 1187. Olaf was only 10 years old when this happened, but as he grew older he began to increasingly resent Reginald for “stealing” what he saw as rightfully his. #Ars Magica #heroic fantasy
