Olafr inn hvíti = Jaun Zuria?

It has been suggested that Olaf the White is the same person as Jaun Zuria ("the White Lord"), the mythical first Lord of Biscay, in Basqueland, who is supposed to have lived in the second have of the 9th century. According to Basque mythology, Jaun Zuria came from the British Isles and was the son of Sugar ("the male snake"), identified by Jon Bilbao with Ivarr inn beinlausi (Ivar the Boneless or Ivar the snake), another Viking-Irish king.
