The early 1900s caption reads"" ""Harald the Hardredy was sorely wounded."" Harald Sigurdsson, also known as Harald III of Norway and given the epithet Hardrada (Hardredy) in the sagas, was King of Norway from 1046 to 1066. Additionally, he unsuccessfully claimed both the Danish throne until 1064 and the English throne in 1066. The Battle of Stiklestad did not go well for the half-brothers Olaf and Harald. Olaf was killed, possibly by the spear of Thorir Hund, and Harald was severely wounded. Olaf's body was secretly taken away to be buried and Harald managed to escape.
