Saint Hallvard, patron of Oslo and innocence, died trying to help an enslaved pregnant woman -- a complete stranger to himself -- escape from three men who had accused her of stealing. Though both Hallvard and the woman were ultimately killed by the three men's arrows, Hallvard's body refused to sink in the fjord even with the heavy millstone put around his neck by his killers, and as a result the men who killed Hallvard and the woman were found out.
