Part 33 - Marriages And Children Of Harald Hardrade

The winter after King Magnus the Good died, King Harald took Thora, daughter of Thorberg Arnason, and they had two sons; the oldest called Magnus, and the other Olaf. King Harald and Queen Ellisif had two daughters; the one Maria, the other Ingegerd. The spring after the foray which has just been related King Harald ordered the people out and went with them to Denmark (A.D. 1049), and herried there, and did so summer after summer thereafter.

So says Stuf, the skald: —

"Falster lay waste, as people tell, —
The raven in other isles fared well.
The Danes were everywhere in fear,
For the dread foray every year."
