Narrative

Name Suffix: King Of Norway
First overking of all Norway,883. He conquered the separate Fjord kingdoms. King of Vestfold. Also called Lura, The Slovenly for he refused to cut or comb his hair for 10 years; Cut his hair after the conquest and won Gytha.

He was the first to rule, at least nominally, the entire country. Harold inherited three small domains in Eastern, Central, and western Norway from his father, and set out to conquer to rest of the country, spurred by the refusal of another petty king's daughter to marry him until all of Norway was under his sway. In his old age Harold abdicated in favor of his eldest legitimate son, Eric Bloodaxe, who was deposed of by his half brother Hakon I after a few years of misrule.
