1035c. Black Harold I Harfoot English Anglo Saxon King

Harold I, also known as Harold Harefoot, was King of the English from 1035 to 1040. He came from a long line of Viking Kings, but he is also considered Anglo-Saxon. Harold’s nickname “Harefoot” was recorded as Harefah or Harefoh in the 20th-century history of Ely Abbey, and according to some late medieval chroniclers, it meant that he was “quick on his feet”.

King Harold Harefoot was the son of King Canute and his first wife, Queen Elfgifu. He shared the kingdom of England with his brother after the death of their father. Harold Harefoot became King of Mercia, Northumbria and Harthacanute became King of Wessex. During the absence of Hardicanute in Denmark, his other kingdom, King Harold Harefoot, became the effective solo ruler in 1037. On his death in 1040, the kingdom of England fell to King Hardicanute alone.

Harold died in 1040, having ruled just five years; his half-brother Harthacnut soon returned and peacefully took hold of the kingdom. Harold was initially buried in Westminster, but Harthacnut had his body dragged up and thrown into a fen adjacent to the river Thames. Still, after a short time, it was picked up by a fisherman, immediately taken to the Danes, and honourably buried in their cemetery in London.

If any man have an ear, let him hear.
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Rev 13: 9-10 KJV

Disclaimer: True Race Facts have made the long overdue honest determination that the King was dark brown, aka BLACK of the Hebrew, Shemitic negro race. Based on his facial phenotype lips and thick braided hairstyle. Authentic original coins are the most accurate determination to identify the King because he would have approved the coins before they were hammered and issued. There are many ancient FAKE coins on the market, so beware when looking at coins. The deceivers made it their mission to cover up the dark ages, so even history should now be considered pseudo-history.
