Harald the Fairhair is a legend, but let's learn more about him.
To begin, he had over 20 children! 23, at least. Having so many children caused a problem. All of his children feuded over the throne, but each got a land to rule over. This still did not stop all fighting. Harald handed supreme power over to Eirik Bloodaxe, his favorite son, the son of one his wives Ragnhild Eiriksdotter. Eirik ruled alongside Fairhair when he was 80 for 3 years. Harald was buried in the traditianal mound when he died.
That is something that I never new. Thank you, Awesome One.
