House / Group: Danish
Born / died: 1016-1040
Reign: 1035-1040
aka Harold Harefoot
Son of Canute and his concubine Aelgifu.
His legitimate half-brother Hardicanute was heir to he thrones of England and Denmark, but while Hardicanute was distracted defending Denmark, Harold became his regent in England and then took the throne.
Harold did not marry but had 1 illegitimate son, Elfwine.
Harold died as Hardicante was preparing to invade England. He was buried at Westminster, but Hardicanute later exhumed his body and had it thrown in a fen.
Again, this is the only image I have found.
