Harold, the future King of Norway?
One of the biggest creative freedom that Viking: Valhalla has taken with history is the initial appearance of Harald Sigurdson, more famously known as Harold Hardrada.
Harold’s exploitation in the Viking world is legendary, but no of those who took place during Viking events: Valhalla as Norwegian’s future king was only a baby, born to Asta and Sigurd in Ringerike, Norway, at 1015, one year after the destruction of the London bridge.
Harald described in Valhalla has open support from the king of Cnut but with the fate of his half-brother Olaf is currently unknown, not to mention the kattegat with Freydis, Harald’s trip to become the king is still far away.
King Cnut, and the North Sea Empire
Assisted by his ambitious wife, Emma Normandy, and his father Sweyn Forkbeard, the vision of King Cnut about the Great Northern Empire firmly within reach.
Taktas Taktas Queen Emma against Queen ælfgifu gave Sweyn enough time to find her son’s fleet and sail to Kattegat. With ælfgifu now out of the picture, England firmly under the CNUT government.
Cnut had fought in Denmark but did not have his fleet thanks to ælfgifu. With his father, Sweyn now helped Kattegat defense, it would not be long before Denmark was under the rule of King Norse.
After Cnut was the Danish king, his dream to form the North Sea Empire would come true.
But, like all the big kingdoms and kingdoms, when the rulers died, and the land was there to be divided, hoping to see many ambitious individuals moving in the three Kingdoms of Cnut.
