Olof Skötkonung, King of Sweden, is baptised…

Olof Skötkonung, King of Sweden, is baptised in Husaby, probably by the missionary Sigfrid, around 1008. (At Husaby church, there is sign at Husaby honoring his baptism and what is thought to be the well at the Holy spring where Olaf was baptized.)

He is the first Swedish king to remain Christian until his death.

However, according to Adam of Bremen, the fact that the vast majority of the Swedes are still pagan forces him to limit Christian activities to the already Christian border province of Västergötland.
