About this listen

Faith met fury on the battlefield of Stiklestad.

In the summer of 1030, the rugged hills of Norway bore witness to one of the most pivotal—and paradoxical—clashes in Scandinavian history. Saints and Warriors explores the legendary Battle of Stiklestad, where King Olaf II Haraldsson, a Christian convert and former Viking raider, returned from exile to reclaim his throne—and spread the faith he had once scorned.

But this was no simple war of conquest. It was a collision of cultures, ideologies, and identities. Pagan warlords, Christian nobles, and common folk were drawn into a brutal confrontation that would shape the spiritual and political destiny of a nation.

Author Terry Sloan weaves together archaeology, medieval chronicles, and modern scholarship to uncover the complex role of Christianity in the battle—how it inspired loyalty, provoked rebellion, and ultimately canonized a king who died by the sword.

Rich in narrative and insight, Saints and Warriors invites readers into a world where saints wore armor, and salvation was fought for with steel.
