HAROLD I

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 11 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HAROLD I . (d. 1040), surnamed Harefoot, the illegitimate son of Canute, king of England, and IElfgifu of
Northampton
 . On the death of his father in 1035, he claimed the crown of England in opposition to Canute's legitimate son,
Hardicanute
 . His claims were supported by Leofric,
earl
  of Mercia, and the north; those of
Hardicanute
  by his
mother
 , Queen Emma, Godwine,
earl
  of the West-
Saxons
  and the
south
 . Eventually Harold was temporarily elected regent, pending a final
settlement
  on Hardicanute's return from Denmark. Hardicanute, however, tarried, and meanwhile Harold's party increased rapidly. In 1037 he was definitely elected king, and banished Emma from the kingdom. The only events of his brief reign are ineffectual inroads of the Welsh and Scots. Hardicanute was preparing to invade England in support of his claims when Harold died at
Oxford
  on the loth of
March
  1040.
