King of Norway, son of Harold Fair Hair; died 961. He was educated as a Christian by King Athelstan in England, and was recalled to Norway, c.935,to drive out his tyrannical half-brother, King Eric. Subsequently he introduced judicious reforms, but his efforts to crush paganism failed, leading to civilwar, in which he was slain by Eric's sons.
