King`s mirror
Henriksen, Vera: KongespeilKing Harald Hardråde (”Harald the Hard Ruler”) has been honoured with more skald songs than any other Norwegian king. And his saga, the way Snorre Sturlasson tells it, is among the most dramatic in the Saga of the Norwegian Kings. But how was he in person? How was he looked upon by his son or his two queens?
In this novel Queen Ellisiv tells her step son, the later King Olav Kyrre, about the king and his deeds, after the king’s death in England at the battle of Stamford Bridge.
