The king then eagerly went to fetch his queen, who returned to the palace with all due honours and splendour.
A great feast was immediately prepared to celebrate the happy restoration of the lost queen and her three children.
This feast lasted many days, for all who chose to come were welcome; indeed, it seemed as if the king could not do enough to show how thankful he was.
He remitted the sentences of many state prisoners, and all the poor in the kingdom received rich gifts.
When at length the feast came to an end, Prince Odo asked the king for the hand of his daughter, the fair princess Olga.
Thereupon a fresh feast was arranged to celebrate the marriage of the prince and princess, and this was carried out with still greater splendour, such as had never been seen before.
Not only was the big hall of the palace prepared for the invited guests, but endless tables were spread in the great courtyard for all the poor and homeless, to whom abundant good fare was generously dispensed, for, Princess Olga said, as they had been poor themselves they must never forget their less fortunate subjects.
Then, when it was over, Prince Odo returned to his own kingdom with his wife, where they reigned in peace and happiness for many years.
Wilhelm married a beautiful cousin, and succeeded to the throne at his father’s death, Sigurd also married a lovely princess in a neighbouring state, and came to the throne on the death of his father-in-law.
Thus Olga and her brothers, after all their trials, lived long and happily, their children and children’s children reigning after them for many generations.
