Óláfr was succeeded by his son, Haraldr,Beuermann (2010) p. 107; McDonald (2007b) p. 87; McNamee (2005); Williams (1997) p. 118; Johnsen (1969) p. 26. who was in turn succeeded by another son, Rǫgnvaldr.McDonald (2007b) p. 88; McNamee (2005). This monarch was slain in 1249, seemingly by an associate of Guðrøðr's son, Haraldr, whereupon the latter assumed the kingship.McDonald (2007b) p. 88. This abrupt seizure of royal power by Guðrøðr's son—almost twenty years after Guðrøðr's death—exposes the fact that the inter-dynastic strife between lines of (Guðrøðr's father) Rǫgnvaldr and Óláfr carried on for yet another generation.McDonald (2007b) pp. 88–89. The infighting only came to an end in the reign of the dynasty's final monarch, Óláfr's son, Magnús.McDonald (2007b) pp. 86, 89–90.
