Harald Sigurdsson (Old Norse: Haraldr Sigurðarson; c. 1015 – 25 September 1066), also known as Harald III of Norway and given the epithet Hardrada in the sagas, [2] was King of Norway from 1046 to 1066. He unsuccessfully claimed the Danish throne until 1064 and the English throne in 1066.
The Swedish–Norwegian War (1063) (Första norgekriget) (Første norsk-svenske krig) took place in 1063 or 1064 and was fought between the Norwegian king Harald Hardrada and the Swedes which supported Håkon Ivarsson who was the jarl of Opplandene.
