Harald Hardrada thought that he should be king as he ruled before so he had much experiance. He also thought that he was strong and healthy. He also had a large army so he was prepared to fight any war that approached the country. I thought Harold Hardrada should be king as he was very powerful and would have great control over his country.

∙ 15y agoHe was the most powerful earl in England so he had good military and back-up. Also, he helped Edward the Confesser. Edward promised him the throne on his death-bed.

∙ 13y agoHarald Hardrada thought he should be king cuz from 1016 - 1042, only Viking kings ruled England. Harald Hardrada was next in line to the throne but, a different person got it.

He believes he should be king because only vikings ruled England from 1016-1042 and he believed it should stay that way.
