Olimar (legendary king)

Olimar or Olmar was a legendary king of the Easterlings (Rex Orientalis) whose realms included Garðaríki, Estonia and Courland. Saxo Grammaticus in Book 5 of Gesta Danorum describes him as a contemporary of Frotho III. While not attested in contemporary or archaeological records, Olimar is a composite figure representing Eastern chieftains, possibly based on real tribal leaders from the Baltic region.
