Olof Skötkonung
Olof Skötkonung (c. 980–1022), son of Eric the Victorious, succeeded his father as king of Sweden around 995. He is the first Swedish king known to have ruled both the Swedes and the Geats, and he minted Sweden's first coins at Sigtuna. Baptized in 1008, he fostered Christianity but tolerated the pagan cult.
In 1000 he and Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark destroyed Olaf Tryggvason's fleet at the Battle of Svolder and divided Norway. He died in 1022, leaving the crown to his son Anund Jacob.
