Biography[]
Eystein was born in 1089, a son of Magnus Barelegs and the half-brother of Olav and Sigurd. He and his brothers became co-kings of Norway on their father's death in battle in Ireland in 1103, and Eystein ruled over western Norway from Trondheim. He was a peaceful king who stayed at home to improve the country, and he won great affection among the people before dying in 1123.
