Who was Harold hadrada?

The spelling is HarAld Hardrada, the spelling may help you distinguish him from HarOld 2nd of England who's forces defeated and killed HarAld and was subsequently defeated and killed by the forces of Williiam the Conquerer.Harald Sigurdsson ( in Norse Haraldr Sigurðarson) was born sometime in 1015 and died 25 September 1066 at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in England. He became king of Norway in 1046 as Harald 3rd and became known Harald Hardrada ( stern or hard ruler), probably because of the many battles he fought against those against his assuming the throne. From 1048 to 1064 he was in almost constant battle against Denmark in an unsuccessful attempt to take the throne of Denmark. From around 1058 Harald also made claim to the throne of England. In 1066 he envaded England to defeat HarOld2nd and seize the throne. He had some intiall success but on 25 September he was defeated and killed in battle by Harold 2.Hardrada's role in English history is important because Harold 2's army tired themselves out making a 4 day forced march to Northern England to defeat him. While they were tiring themselves even more in battle, William landed in Southern England. Harold had to march his army back south immediatly to meet William at Hastings. William had spent the time waiting for Harold by choosing his ground and deploying his forces. By the time Harolds exhausted army arrived there was little time to propare for battle. It was a close battle til almost the end when Harold was killed, if Harold's army had not had to march all the way to Stamford, fight a battle, march all the way back and fight another battle in such a short period, William might have lost and not become king. But even if Haro;d had won, he might have had to turn around and go back north to fight other invaders from Norway or Denmark.
