Harald Sigurdsson (c. 1015 – 1066), also known as Harald III and by the epithet Hardrada (English: "the Stern") was King of Norway from 1046 until his death, and an unsuccessful claimant to the English throne in 1066.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
Following the death of King Edward the Confessor in 1042, the English throne was left vacant. Harald struck a deal with Normandy's Duke William in order to claim the seat for himself only to be killed at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, leaving William to ascend to kingship himself.[2]
