| - The False Olaf (died 1402) was a man who impersonated Olaf II of Denmark and Norway, who had actually died in 1387. Prussian historian Johann von Posilge reported that in 1402 a poor sick man came to the country and stayed near the village of Graudenz (now Grudziądz). A group of merchants from Denmark asked him if he was not well known in Denmark, since he looked very much like the late King Olaf. The merchants left to find another who had seen the king and returned with him. When the newcomer saw the one they took for Olaf, he cried out, "My lord king!" Many people, especially in Norway, did not believe that Olaf had died. They thought that Margaret I of Denmark had poisoned young Olaf to get him out of the way so that she could rule. According to the rumors, young Olaf hid himself and escaped. The news reached a merchant, Tyme von der Nelow, who took the man to Danczik (now Gdańsk). The high born of the town welcomed Olaf as the rightful King of Denmark and Norway and gave him fine clothes and presents. A seal was made for him, and he wrote to Queen Margaret informing her that he was her son. He demanded the restoration of his lands and titles. Queen Margaret wrote back, saying that if he could prove himself her son, she would gladly accept him. The Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights escorted the pretender to Kalmar to be interviewed by the queen. As soon as the man arrived he was discovered to be an impostor. He could speak not a single word of Danish and on questioning admitted he was a Prussian who was the son of peasants: Adolph and Margaret from Erlau (now Eger). The false Olaf was taken to Lund in Scania. There he admitted to his breach against the monarchy and was condemned to be burned at the stake. The letters he wrote to Queen Margaret were hung around his neck and a mock crown placed on his head before he was lowered into the flames. His possessions were given to a monastery, and the queen had the false Olaf's seal destroyed. The Danish Council of the Realm released a detailed explanation of the real Olaf's death in 1387 to contradict the story that had spread around the Baltic. (en)

- Den s.k. Falske Olof, död 1402, var en böhmare som dömdes för majestätsbrott efter att ha utgett sig för att ha varit drottning Margaretas son, kung Olof. Den falske Olof var son till en kvinna som hade arbetat vid unionsdrottningens Margaretas hov i slutet av 1300-talet. Enligt dokument dök han först upp i Danzig, Tyskland 1401 där han utgav sig för att i själva verket vara drottning Margaretas son, som avled redan 1387. Mannen samlade en stor skara anhängare och menade att han flytt för sitt liv eftersom hans mor velat döda honom. Nyheten nådde unionsdrottningen genom norska fiskare som besökt Danzig och kort därefter anlände ett brev från mannen där han uttalat krävde att få överta regeringsmakten i det han kallade sina tre riken: Danmark, Norge och Sverige. Drottning Margareta skickade omedelbart en skrivelse till Konrad von Jungingen, den tyska ordens högmästare i Danzig, där hon redovisade hur hennes äkta son avlidit i vittnens närvaro. En av männen som överlämnade skrivelsen var Folke Jakobsen som själv varit närvarande vid den riktige Olofs död i Falsterbo 1387. Mannen greps och fördes till Kalmar där han avslöjades. En orsak var att han inte talade något av de nordiska språken trots att han uppgav att han varit 17 år då han begav sig i landsflykt. Han bekände sitt bedrägeri och uppgav sitt riktiga namn som Wolf och att han härstammade från Böhmen. Mannen dömdes till döden för majestätsbrott och brändes på bål 1402 på en avrättningsplats som låg mellan Skanör och Falsterbo under den lokala höstmarknaden. (sv)
