  • Harald I of Norway
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY NORWEGIAN VIKING/ROYAL ANCESTRY INTRODUCTION A previous part covered the Norwegian and Finnish ancestral mythical/historical royalty. This historical part of the Norwegian Royal Ancestry, begins with a united Norway’s first king, Harald Fairhair ( H å r f a g e r ) , the son of King Halfdan, the last one in the previous part. T h i s p a r t covers our ancestry from King Harald and our relationship to the present king of Norway. Harald married Snofrid Svåsesdotter from Finland, who thus became the first Queen of Norway. S e e t h e saga below: King Harald, one winter, went about in guest-quarters in the Uplands, and had ordered a Christmas feast to be prepared for him at the farm Thoptar. On Christmas eve came Svase to the door, just as the king went to table, and sent a message to the king to ask if he would go out with him. The king was angry at such a message, and the man, who had brought it in, took out with him a reply of the king's displeasure. But Svase, notwithstanding, desired that his message should be delivered a second time; adding to it, that he was the Fin whose hut the king had promised to visit, and which stood on the other side of the ridge. Now the king went out, and promised to go with him, and went over the ridge to his hut, although some of his men dissuaded him. There stood Snaefrid, the daughter of Svase, a most beautiful girl; and she filled a cup of mead for the king.
