@@HarryLopez82 In 2006, there was talk of digging him up and moving him to Nidaros Cathedral, which is our coronation church. The National Antiquarian said no.
This man fought against and for Norse nobles, King Cnut the Great, Prince Yaroslavl the Wise, Byzantine Eastern Roman Emperors, Arab pirates and Saracen warriors, Danes, and Anglo-Saxons. Probably the most accomplished warrior in history.
They may no longer sing of Harold in pagan and Christian churches, but Ollie keeps his memory alive in pubs and on youtube. Another great video, thank you!
He is definitely one of the greatest he accomplished more in his lifetime then almost anyone and that really can't be disputed on the battlefield as well as politically
Damn, talk about UNSTOPPABLE! Not only did he come from a noble and legendary lineage, but he also lived up to the blood that gave him life. He might have died from an arrow to the throat, but he died in battle like the great warrior he was.
To me Valhalla in Netflix give not justice to this Viking king he was so good that he deserves a full series about his life and all his bottles definable he was a great warrior.
He must have been a very talented warrior to have lived through so many battles against so many different people who probably such varied fighting styles. With the arrow to neck though, it just goes to show no matter how skilled a warrior you are, war is chaos and death can strike anyone at any time.
Great video! Yeah, Harald Sigurdson was one of the most famous norwegian viking kings, alongside Olav Trygvason. Harald was a brave legendary fighter, and his story is well known and documented.
Your videos are so well done … you highlight all the bullet points with a clear calm voice !!! I find myself wanting more after each one . Well done sir well done
That means we are distantly related! Harald is my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather! Great x 26! /
Not one of the greatest Viking Kings of history. But thee greatest of all time, Harold Sigurdsson (King Hardrada.) He is totally the ultimate adventurist. Living his life on the edge since fifteen. He goes from being almost anonymous to the leader of a small group commando raids. Tricks impregnable fortresses into letting him in. Commanding armies until one fateful day. I thought I'd like to see the movie.
It’s intriguing to think how two arrows determined the course of history, the first being the arrow that slew Harald Sigurdsson, and the second being the arrow that laid low Harold Godwinson. But for that first arrow, the Norse might have prevailed that day against the English, and the Normans would have found themselves facing a very different foe. 1066 was an eventful year, to put it mildly.
As a Scandinavian, but also as a descendant of William the Conqueror, I'd say, that England would have been better off with a Viking victory at Stamford bridge.
You do know that 'Norman' was how the French referred to Vikings (ie- 'Northmen') and that William was a descendant of Rolf Gånger (aka Rollo), the Danish Viking who agreed to stop raiding after Charles the Simple offered him the region now -- obviously -- known as Normandy. So, in reality, William's Norse heritage meant that England was still conquered by someone with Scandinavian roots.
@@jerrysherman1025actually Charles the Simple only offered him Amiens and Rouen, county not a whole province Amiens sat at the mouth of the river Seine guarding the way to Paris... Rollo kept to his agreement to Charles to protect and not raid further into Normandy After Charles was deposed by his own relatives Rollo then decide that his agreement was void and took over large parts of what is known as Normandie today many assume that he was offered Normandy as is depicted in fictional accounts but Charles was not that Simple and had no intention of offering such a huge land. it's a testament to the strength of Rollo and descendants including William that they continued to hold onto such a large area that was not granted to them
Thank you for your amazing readings and great videos! Just want say that I won't be here next week. But will watch your amazing videos, when I'm ready. Going for surgery in 5 days! Stay safe. Love your channel History Profiles
This was a great video! I’ve been binge watching a lot of your videos lately. They’re so well done. I love history so your videos give me the information I want without dragging it out into some unnecessary length. Thank you!
It takes more than fighting ability to make a great King. Harold Sigurdsson (Hardrada) was a great king. You should look into more than just his battles.
many comments here about lack of historical accuracy and how unfortunate... having tried to research and write a historically accurate script the research is extremely time consuming and writers don't hav e the time nor care. they use a few bare facts and quickly write out a dramatic story. period. history takes time differing accounts need to be read and assessed. fascinating and beautiful process but not many ready for the labor of love when trying to get paid.
He certainly played his huge part in history of the english... it is said that due to the battles against Hardrada, the Godwinson royal forces were fatigued and distracted which aided William the Conqueror in winning England, by attacking in a timely fashion, soon after Hardrada was defeated by Godwinson without Hardrada it's possible that William would have been defeated and not be the so called progenitor of many english royals to this day. William is the great grandfather of Henry II, great great grandfather of Richard the Lion hearted ancestor to many famed leaders including Edward III, Henry V this is not to diminish Hardrada's astonishing career and survival in his youthful exile from his norwegian home one might say that luck is on the side of some, like William the Conqueror whose grand daughter Mathilda is essentially the founder of the English famed Plantagenet Dynasty i'll winds foiled Williams first attempt to conquer England before Hardrada's arrival and it could have been the other way around, with Hardrada benefitting from Godwinson being distracted by William s army and Hardrada eventually marching in to lLondon to be crowned.
I'm definitely in the minority after reading the comments, but he came across as a vicious psychopath whose ruthless ambition caused death and misery for thousands. Bravery is about facing something that scares you and heroism is about benefiting others, whereas Harold seemed to revel in violence and was only doing it for personal gain. An impressive warrior yes, but not someone to be admired.
Why are you judging this by today's 'standards' - I thought we'd ALL been taught in high school that today's 'standards'/laws cannot be applied to the past........🤷♀️
Hardrada who serves British history as the distraction which allowed William of Normandy to land in England, and a tired English army to lose at Hastings, changing history forever
I wanted to know how accurate he was portrayed in Vikings Valhalla. Did he really know Leif Ericsson? Dis they even live during the same period? Many questions I guess, but that's just my way. Great video, well done
Vikings and Vikings Valhalla are very fictional... even though Vikings is actually one my favorite shows of all time, the history is pretty much jumbled up with Rollo ,who i supposedly Ragnars brother in reality Ragnar was at least a generation ahead and in no way related no one is even certain that Ragnar was a real person, whereas Rollo was real and progenitor of the Viking dynasty that became the Normans, ancestor to William the Conqueror so it is doubtful that Hardrada knew Erickson, the series puts all the most fascinating characters of history together in one room 😂❤
While all the main characters are historical figures, the timeline is very fucked up. Leif Eriksoon was of the same generation as Svein Forkbeard. Olaf Haraldson and Cnut were one generation younger. Harald Hardrada was 2 generations younger. Why is Cnut already king of anything while his father is still alive? Forkbeard was the one who led the invasion of England that was depicted in the show, he was the new king of England, and this happened 10+ years after the massacres of the 1st episode, as opposed to 1 year like in the show. Cnut became king of England after his father died, and only became king of Denmark after his younger brother who inherited that kingdom died a couple of years later. Olaf Haraldsson took Norway after the death of Svein Forkbeard and ruled it for 15 years, as opposed to dying in a duel with a girl while still being a Jarl. He eventually lost the kingdom to a combination of Cnut invading and his nobles rebelling at the same time, and died in battle 2 years later trying to win the kingdom back. A 15 years old Harald Siggurdson (Hardrada) was present at this battle, as mentioned in the video. The massacre in ep 1 happened in 1002. Svein Forkbeard taking England and dying after 5 weeks, making Cnut the Great inherit the throne happened in 1014. The death of Olaf Haraldsson and the beginning of Harald Siggurdson's travels to Rus and The Byzantine Empire happened in 1030.
Unbelieveble strong Warrior. Killed by arrow its a pitty. The good thing he was now not forced to face old age. Wich is a real ugly battle for a man who was always strong.
if he had defeated Godwinson, he would have had to face off with William later known as the Conqueror who defeated Godwinson months after Godwinson defeated Hardrada.. so that would be definitely a fascinating what if story! what an epic battle that would have been ! Hardrada v. William of Normandy , also part Viking blood if we had a time machine and could change the trajectory of that arrow ... who would have triumphed and be progenitor of all English royals today
Lol, probably not though the person in the Norse sagas is like a giant and bulked it wouldn’t make sense to make Leif it unless they want him to make an ultimate sacrifice then I guess.
@Wafflefan340... idk Harold is suppose to be one of the best Berserker Vikings in the world on the show and Leaf is about the same size of him. Not to mention Leafs dad on the show was a legendary berserker Viking and leaf himself went berserker at the end of the first season and wrecked a whole bunch of dudes. They will probably have him use his wits instead of brawn just by judging how the show has played out so far. I can’t wait to see the scene though no matter who it is. It’s my favorite tale. I hate that they stab the guy in the back with spears from under the bridge like come on he’s one guy vs a whole army the least you can do is meet him face to face you cowards lol
I love history and from the Roman empire all the way up threw Charlemagne into the Viking error into the crusades through the ottoman empire all the way up to Napoleon taking over Europe I would not say I'm an expert but I would say I know alot and to me he is definitely one of the most polarizing Vikings in history I'd say on achievement toughness and conquer he's top 3 but it's up for debate he could be number one he could be number five but he is definitely one of the best 💯❤️💪

Unmatched heroism. Definitely deserves to have his name immortalized. One of the best vikings ever.

Can he still be considered Viking if he was a Christian?
He is definitely one of the greatest he accomplished more in his lifetime then almost anyone and that really can't be disputed on the battlefield as well as politically
Of course he can bud Viking means Pillager Raider conqueror not necessarily your religion because times are changing around the world then

Brilliant video, very well done!
This was a good one! Looking forward to Valhalla season 3.
I'm just amazed at the geography he crossed, lived on and survived. No Eurail pass back then which makes it even more incredible.
Hah! Do you think a Man like Harald would want a Eurail pass? Or a 1st class plane ticket? Hell No! His Goal was VALHALLA 🎉🎊
He must have been a very talented warrior to have lived through so many battles against so many different people who probably such varied fighting styles. With the arrow to neck though, it just goes to show no matter how skilled a warrior you are, war is chaos and death can strike anyone at any time.

Great history story 😁👍.
An amazing Viking an amazing warrior king human being❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh wow. I didn't realize that Leo Suter's facial hair was actually Harald Hardrada's according to the first seconds of the video.
I wanted to know how accurate he was portrayed in Vikings Valhalla. Did he really know Leif Ericsson? Dis they even live during the same period? Many questions I guess, but that's just my way. Great video, well done
Vikings and Vikings Valhalla are very fictional...
even though Vikings is actually one my favorite shows of all time,
the history is pretty much jumbled up
with Rollo ,who i supposedly
Ragnars brother
in reality Ragnar was at least a generation ahead
and in no way related
no one is even certain that Ragnar was a real person, whereas Rollo was real
and progenitor of the Viking dynasty that became the Normans, ancestor to
William the Conqueror
so it is doubtful that Hardrada knew Erickson,
the series puts all the most fascinating characters of history together in one room 😂❤
While all the main characters are historical figures, the timeline is very fucked up.
Leif Eriksoon was of the same generation as Svein Forkbeard.
Olaf Haraldson and Cnut were one generation younger.
Harald Hardrada was 2 generations younger.
Why is Cnut already king of anything while his father is still alive? Forkbeard was the one who led the invasion of England that was depicted in the show, he was the new king of England, and this happened 10+ years after the massacres of the 1st episode, as opposed to 1 year like in the show.
Cnut became king of England after his father died, and only became king of Denmark after his younger brother who inherited that kingdom died a couple of years later.
Olaf Haraldsson took Norway after the death of Svein Forkbeard and ruled it for 15 years, as opposed to dying in a duel with a girl while still being a Jarl. He eventually lost the kingdom to a combination of Cnut invading and his nobles rebelling at the same time, and died in battle 2 years later trying to win the kingdom back. A 15 years old Harald Siggurdson (Hardrada) was present at this battle, as mentioned in the video.
The massacre in ep 1 happened in 1002. Svein Forkbeard taking England and dying after 5 weeks, making Cnut the Great inherit the throne happened in 1014. The death of Olaf Haraldsson and the beginning of Harald Siggurdson's travels to Rus and The Byzantine Empire happened in 1030.
Seems like the next seasons of Vikings Valhalla will be interesting.

*Spatharokandidatos* that's a mouthful ... always interesting *THX Ollie* 👍👍👍👍👍
maybe translates from spatharo=spathi in greek means sword and candidate
Imagine what may have happened if the arrow that killed Harald Hardrada had missed...
Probably would have different dynasty on English throne...
if he had defeated Godwinson,
he would have had to face off with William later known as the Conqueror
who defeated Godwinson months after
Godwinson defeated Hardrada..
so that would be definitely a fascinating what if story!
what an epic battle that would have been !
Hardrada v. William of Normandy , also part Viking blood
if we had a time machine and could change the trajectory of that arrow ...
who would have triumphed and be progenitor of all
English royals today
After watching season 2 of Vikings Valhalla I’m 99.9% sure the unnamed Viking on the bridge is going to be leaf Erickson.
