Previous tournament: Olafr the Stout.
Olafr's invasion of England had failed, and Olafr now returned to Scandinavia to consolidate his power as master of the Norse kingdoms. He settled down in a newly built castle outside the Norwegian town of Konghelle, where he started the building of a new monumental church as a symbol of his God-given right to rule over all the Scandinavians.
The Danes however, grew more and more dissatisfied with Olafr's reign, and in 1029 they finally rebelled. King Sveinn was now 15 winters old, and was considered to have come of age, and he now wanted to govern his Denmark without any foreign influence.
This tournament will play out this Danish rebellion against their Norwegian rulers.
