King Harald Hardrada

King Harald Hardrada (c. 1015-1066 CE)

"Now I go creeping from forest
To forest with little honour;
Who knows, my name may yet become
Renowned far and wide in the end."

• Quote supposedly composed by a fifteen-year-old Harald "Hardrada" Sigurdsson, in King Harald's Saga by Snorri Sturlusson, translated by Magnus Magnusson and Hermann Pálsson (Penguin Classics, 1966, 2005).
