king of See also:Norway, surnamed Gylle (probably from Gylle Krist, i.e. servant of See also:Christ), was See also:born in See also:Ireland about 1103. About 1127 he went to Norway and declared he was a son of King See also:Magnus III. (Barefoot), who had visited Ireland just before his See also:death in 1103, and consequently a See also:half-See also:brother of the reigning king, See also:Sigurd. He appears to have submitted successfully to the See also:ordeal of See also:fire, and the alleged relationship was acknowledged by Sigurd on See also:condition that Harald did not claim any See also:share in the See also:government of the See also:kingdom during his lifetime or that of his son Magnus. Living on friendly terms with the king, Harald kept this agreement until Sigurd's death in 1130. Then See also:war See also:broke out between himself and Magnus, and after several battles the latter was captured in 1134, his eyes were put out, and he was thrown into See also:prison. Harald now ruled the See also:country until 1136, when he was murdered by Sigurd Slembi-Diakn, another See also:bastard son of Magnus Barefoot. Four of Harald's sons, Sigurd, Ingi, Eysteinn and Magnus, were subsequently See also:kings of Norway.
