I have difficulties understanding the line of Norwegian Kings when it comes to the name Olav. There seems to have been six King with that name, but the latest one was Olav V. Which King should be excluded?

Olav Tryggvason 995-1000
Olav den hellige 1015-1028
Olav Kyrre 1069-1093
Olav Magnusson 1103-1115
Olav Håkonsson 1370-1387
Olav V 1957-1991

594
