"Many of you knew my father, Halfdan the Black. A great man who achieved great things."

―Harald on his father, 872.^[src]^-[m]

Halfdan the Black (c. 810 – 860) was a 9th century king of Vestfold and the father of Harald Fairhair, the first king of a unified Norway.

During his time, Halfdan was in possession of a seax that he sought to pass down to his son. However, the seax was misplaced and eventually wounded up in Eikundarsund.^[1] Following Halfdan's passing, he was succeeded by Harald, who would go on to unify the various petty kingdoms into a unified Norway.^[2]
