Abstract

The remembrance of King Óláfr Tryggvason in the saga literature has been subject of various books and articles. In this article, I will examine the remembrance of Óláfr Tryggvason through one memory place (lieu de mémoire), Svo˛lðr, and three characters vital to his story and who also connect King Óláfr Tryggvason to the West Slavic area. The places and characters are important pieces for memorizing the story and, at the same time, are easily developed by the authors to suit the plot.
