    3. Elaine If Charley was decended from the Cleavland line, I have this story. I forget the lands involved but here goes... War for the Vikings had not been going too well. Now this one Viking has just been in battle and had his leg cut off. [we will call him Olaf]  So as their boats was approching another land the one in charge yelled  "I will give rulership to the first man that puts his foot on land".  As the boats drew near the land Olaf took his leg and threw it on the beach. He was given the rulership. The Cleaveland crest shows an arm throwing a leg.
