Notes:
Kalf was King Olaf II's lenderman in the interior of the Throndheim country. He became a great chief, and was a man of very great understanding. Kalf deserted Olaf and joined Jarl Hakon's forces in January, 1029. Kalf later led the army that went out against King Olaf when he returned to Norway, in 1030. Kalf did not get any of the rewards that Canute had promised him for his treachery. In 1034, Kalf and Einar Tambaskelfer went to Novgorod where they agreed to become Magnus' men and help him win the throne of Norway. For a while, Kalf helped Magnus and was one of his chief advisors. However, there came a time when Magnus grew angry at Kalf for his role at the Battle of Stiklestad. Kalf then fled the country. Many years later, Kalf's brother Fin was able to get King Harald Hardrade to let him come back to Norway. Kalf then came back into the country and Harald made him his lenderman with all of his forrmer holdings and power. >Death note: Kalf was killed in a battle against the Danes at Fyen. Harald and the rest of his force defeated the Danes and penetrated far into the country. However, Finn and many others said that Harald wanted Kalf to be killed because he put him in the front of the battle and did not come to his aid sooner.
