Harold was born circa 1022 in Bosham, West Sussex, England. Birth dates for his brothers and sisters place it at least as early as 1023, since his younger sister, Gunhilda, was born in about 1024:

From records remaining, we know Harold was the second child and Gunhilda was the third. It stands to reason, then, that Harold was born no later than 1023. Most estimates place his birth in 1022.
