Eystein I Of Norway
Eystein I Magnusson (Old Norse: Eysteinn Magnússon, Norwegian: Øystein Magnusson; c. 1088 – 29 August 1123) was King of Norway from 1103 to 1123. From the outset following their father's death, he reigned jointly together with his brothers Olaf (until his death in 1115) and Sigurd the Crusader. As Sigurd outlived Eystein, however, he was never allowed to rule as the sole Norwegian king.
