NOTES: Harold was about 45 years old at his death. William is said to have had his body buried on the sea shore, but there is a tradition that Harold's mistress Edith Swan-neck sought it out and took it to Waltham Abbey for burial. Harold had lived happily with Edith for many years and she had borne him many children, including a daughter Gytha, named after Harold's mother, who was to seek refuge abroad after the Conquest and eventually to marry Vladimir Monomakh, Grand Duke of Kiev. In 1065 Harold married Ealdgyth, the widow of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, King of Gwynedd and Powys, and dau of Alfgar, Earl of Mercia. She bore him at least one son, Harold, whose fate is unknown. There is much confusion between Ealdgyth and Edith Swan-neck. With such spelling, is there any wonder?

Hardicanute, King of Denmark

Birth: 1018
Death: 8 JUN 1042, Lambeth
Burial: , Winchester, Cathedral, London, England
Father: Canute II the Great
Mother: Emma of Normandy

NOTES: He was regarded as the legitimate heir to England, but tarried so long in Denmark the people got tired of waiting for him and elected his half-brother instead. In 1039 he joined his mother, Emma, in Bruges and on Harold's death the following year set out for England with a fleet of sixty ships to claim his inheritance. He imposed crippling taxes which soon alienated those who had solicited his return and, in the words of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, "never did anything worthy of a King while he reigned." Hardicanute's reign was even shorter than his brother's (1040-42). He died at a wedding feast at Lambeth "as he stood at his drink and... suddenly fell to the ground with a horrible convulsion; and those who were near thereto took hold of him, but he never spoke again." He was buried with his father at Winchester.
