Why Was He History's CRAZIEST VIKING KING? - Harald Hardrada
Ever heard of a Viking who took an arrow to the throat while in a berserk rage? Meet Harald Hardrada, the Norseman who wasn't just content with being a king; an explorer, a mercenary, a slaughtering berserker, and an expansionist monarch - he aimed for legend.
From Byzantine back-alleys to English battlefields, here's a tale that redefines 'epic'.
________
Ah, royalty. You'd think being born with a silver spoon would mean sipping mead from golden goblets, right?
But for Harald Hardrada, life was less about riches and more about... let's call it "overcoming struggle. Constant struggle.."
It was less about lullabies, more about legends. Especially one legend: Olaf Haraldsson, later dubbed Saint Olaf.
Not just any big brother, but a larger-than-life figure, casting a shadow that felt more like an eclipse.
Now, let's set the scene of Norway back then. Forget the fairy-tale fjords; think more "Game of Thrones" with a dash of Viking ruthlessness.
In this whirlwind, Harald wasn't just another pawn. He was a player. Every move, every decision, was a step towards a destiny that seemed almost preordained.
