This compelling Icelandic history describes the life of King Harald Hardradi, from his battles across Europe and Russia to his final assault on England in 1066, less than three weeks before the invasion of William the Conqueror. It was a battle that led to his death and marked the end of an era in which Europe had been dominated by the threat of Scandinavian forces. Despite England's triumph, it also played a crucial part in fatally weakening the English army immediately prior to the Norman Conquest, changing the course of history. Taken from the Heimskringla - Snorri Sturluson's complete account of Norway from prehistoric times to 1177 - this is a brilliantly human depiction of the turbulent life and savage death of the last great Norse warrior-king.

A collection of sagas concerning the various rulers of Norway, from about 850 to 1177. Beginning with the dim prehistory of the mythical gods and their descendants, Heimskringla recounts the history of the kings of Norway through the reign of Olaf Haraldsson, who became Norway’s patron saint. Once found in most homes and schools and still regarded as a national treasure, Heimskringla influenced the thinking and literary style of Scandinavia over several centuries. “[Snorri Sturluson] speaks—as almost no other historian ever has spoken—with the authority of a man whose masterful skills would have made him one of the formidable, foremost in any of the events he records. So he saturates even remotely past happenings with a gripping first-hand quality...Hollander’s translation is very good, fresh on every page . . . Wherever you open the book, the life grips you and you read on.” —Ted Hughes, New York Review of Books “Among the many contributions to world literature that ancient Iceland has given us, Heimskringla stands out as one of the truly monumental works. Among medieval European histories in the vernacular it has no equal.” —Modern Philology

THE VIKING AGE was an exciting era of conquest and adventure, full of bigger than life men who dared the raging seas in open dragon ships, their round battle shields arrayed in a menacing row signaling the brute strength of the warriors who manned the mighty ships. One of the greatest of these was the WARRIOR KING HARALD FAIRHAIR, FIRST KING OF ALL NORWAY and a superhero of the VIKING AGE. His was definitely a life of conquest and adventure. Not only did he conquer the thirty one petty kingdoms of Norway and the petty kings who had ruled them, but he also conquered the seven women who were each unique and beautiful in their own way. They would give him twenty sons and two daughters. Harald was not inherently romantic, but he did envy the look of love he saw in the eyes of his powerful father, Halvdan the Black, whenever his lovely mother Ragnhild was near. Their influence was key to the remarkable man he would become.Enter ODIN, the ALLFATHER who ruled the mortals under his charge. Would the god actually ask Harald to marry at the age of eleven, despite the stunning red-haired beauty chosen for his mate? But she was only the bait, the bait that would set the young prince on his quest to fulfill the destiny required of him by Odin in the pre-mortal world. Little did this Viking lad know that Asa would be just the first of the wives Odin would choose for him to wed. After countless successful battles and many years as the powerful ruler, Harald began to feel proud of his great accomplishments and neglected to pay homage to the god who had protected and guided the events of his life. Then came the witch. The confident king was helpless under her power and she used him as she pleased. Only after he had sired four sons while hidden in a dark, filthy cave did Odin allow him to be rescued. Some lessons are hard to learn, but those are the kind one never forgets. Fortunately for Harald, he had yet more women to love and more sons to be brought into the world. The noble blood that ran through the veins of these sons would insure the longevity of Harald's royal line. THE SEVEN WIVES OF HARALD FAIRHAIR, FIRST KING OF ALL NORWAY, tells the story of this superhero in a historical novel that realistically depicts the life and time of the VIKING AGE. It was an age when women were strong, but men were stronger. IT IS A STORY OF LOVE AND WAR, BUT MOSTLY LOVE. This is a work of fiction, based on facts as found in the HEIMSKRINGLA, A HISTORY OF THE KINGS OF NORWAY, an ancient text written in the Old Norse language. It was compiled by SNORRE STURLUSON from documents, now lost, that were recorded during the 9th to the 12th century.To shorten the lengthy novel, the historic maps and illustrations were removed for this edition, making it 354 versus 416 pages. The strong font, Copperplate Gothic, has also been replaced by the weak Times New Roman font to please those readers who had difficulty reading the font in the first edition.
