Olav, later known as King Olav V of Norway, was the son of King Haakon VII and Princess Maud of Wales. Born on July 2, 1903, he played a significant role in Norway's history, particularly during World War II when he became a symbol of resistance against Nazi occupation. He was known for his down-to-earth personality and commitment to the Norwegian people. Olav ascended to the throne in 1957 and reigned until his death in 1991, earning widespread respect and affection for his dedication to public service and national unity. His marriage to Märtha was notable for its warmth and mutual support, and together they had three children. His legacy continues to influence the Norwegian monarchy today.
