Helgi Óláfsson Tilnavn / fordanskning: Helge Lokalitet: Relationer: Kilder: Islændingebogen: Tillæg 2; Noter: Sagnkonge af Ynglingeslægten

Helgi is listed based on the ancestry of Olav Hvite:

The text from "Landnåmabok" that mentions him seems to be:

Óleifur hinn hvíti hét herkonungur; hann var son Ingjalds konungs Helgasonar, Óláfssonar, Guðröðarsonar, Hálfdanarsonar hvítbeins Upplendingakonungs

That is to say, he is the son of Olaf the son of Gudrød who is the son of Halfdan Kvitbein, king in Oppland (Norway).

He is NOT the son of Olaf Geirstad-Alv.
