What was Harald Hardrada's job?

Harald Hardrada was a Viking king who conquered lots of other countries. That was his favorite thing to do as it is with any king--take land and become powerful and rich. He was killed in the battle of Stamford Bridge by Harold Godwinson in the fight for the English succession when Edward the Confessor died.


Why does Harold hardrada think he should be king of England?

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.

Did Harald Hardrada have any blood relations to King Edward?

Harald Hardrada was not actually blood- related to King Edward the Confessor. instead he was related to a previous king of England by the name of King Canute. apparently it was said that on King Edward's death bed, Edward promised to him that he would be able to take care of his wife and of his kingdom. This was not true as this conversation was only had with, William the Conqueror, who was in fact related to the wife of King Edward. (This was his sister.) As the truth was not found out until a later date, they decided that they would find a king in a fair way. This was called a joust or a fight which William of Normandy (now William the Conqueror) won. This was how they found their king. Overall, this means that... No, Mr Harald Hardrada was not blood related to Mr Edward the Confessor.

Why was Andrew Jackson called a self-made man?

Because that is what he was. He started with no family, wealth or connections. No one paid to give him an education and nobody paved his way to national prominence. He was able to marry a woman that had some family connections, but that was due to his own charm and initiative. He did not start with any advantages except his own looks and intelligence.
