King Harald's Saga: Harald Hardradi of Norway, from Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla

Penguin Classics, 1966, softcover, 185 pages, condition: very good.

This saga provides a detailed account of King Harald Sigurðarson (Harald Hardradi), from his early battles and mercenary life across Europe and Russia to his final, fateful invasion of England in 1066. Sturluson combines history, action, and human interest to depict the king's ambitious military expeditions, statesmanship, and eventual death at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. This event is historically significant for contributing to the Norman Conquest by fatally weakening the English army just before the Battle of Hastings.
