On September 9th, 1000 Olaf Tryggvason, the king of Norway, was ambushed by the allied kings of Sweden and Denmark with their fleet of over 70 warships. Olaf had only 11 warships, but instead of fleeing he decided to stay and fight. At first he and his men were able to hold off the attackers, but eventually, all his ships were taken 1 by 1. Rather than be captured, Olaf threw himself into the sea.
