Their bodies stay buried until discovered by Olaf Tryggvason, who has them exhumed and has a church built in dedication to them.Together with Sörla þáttr, Tóka þáttr Tókasonar, Norna-gests þáttr and , the tale is part of a subgenre of "pagan-contact þættir". The tale is recorded in Oddr Snorrason’s Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar and the later Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar en mesta. Oddr’s work was originally composed in Latin and only survives in Old Norse-Icelandic translation. Oddr’s work in turn derives from an earlier Latin account, Acta sanctorum in Selio. Albanus was identified in Norwegian tradition with Saint Alban, to whom the monastery at Selje was dedicated. However, the original dedication to Alban at Selje may not have been to the British saint, but a German saint of the same name. (en)
