Archaeologists believe they have found Irish Viking king Olaf Guthfrithsson

Archaeologists found a set of ancient remains during an archaeological dig in East Lothian, Scotland, which is believed to be the Irish Viking king Olaf Guthfrithsson, according to a report on STV News. The burial indicates the young adult male was a member of the elite and spent time in the household of the kings of the Uí Ímar dynasty.

The discovery was first made in 2005 during an excavation by AOC Archaeology Group at Auldhame in East Lothian, and since then, researchers have been trying to piece together the circumstances of his death and his true identity.
