Description: King Harald's Saga by Snorri Sturluson, Hermann Palsson, Magnus Magnusson The biography of one of the most remarkable and memorable of the Medieval kings of Norway. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This compelling Icelandic history describes the life of King Harald Hardradi, from his battles across Europe and Russia to his final assault on England in 1066, less than three weeks before the invasion of William the Conqueror. It was a battle that led to his death and marked the end of an era in which Europe had been dominated by the threat of Scandinavian forces. Despite Englands triumph, it also played a crucial part in fatally weakening the English army immediately prior to the Norman Conquest, changing the course of history. Taken from the Heimskringla - Snorri Sturlusons complete account of Norway from prehistoric times to 1177 - this is a brilliantly human depiction of the turbulent life and savage death of the last great Norse warrior-king. Author Biography Snorri Sturluson (1179–1241) was the son of an upstart Icelandic chieftain. He rose to become Icelands richest and, for a time, most powerful leader.
