Trivia[]
- Harald was known as "inn hárfagri", literally "the hairfair".
- Harald claimed descent from the Yngling clan, a legendary line of petty kings in Sweden.
- In fact until recently it was debated whether Harald was a historical or legendary figure. However, after studying about him in the Ancient Viking Sagas, historians are now pretty sure he actually existed and was the first king of Norway in history, although the real Harald was most likely not similar to his appearance in the sagas.
