• Notes

  Called "the Greenlander" but not from Greenland; he appears to have been from Grenland in Norway. Supposedly murdered by foster sister Sigrid Storrada. "Recent scholarship has questioned the historicity of Harald." [Wikipedia] Todd A. Farmerie, 26 Apr 2016, post to soc.genealogy.medieval: In Norway, probably no earlier than the father of St. Olaf (these genealogies appear to have been reworked to make the warlords who succeeded to Norway be descendants of Harald Fairhair).
