The early 1900s caption reads: ""Harold sat by her side and watched her."" The image shows Harald Hairfair and Snowfair."" Harald Fairhair (c.850 - c.932) was a Norwegian king. According to traditions current in Norway and Iceland in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, he reigned from c. 872 to 930 and was the first King of Norway. His sons, Eric Bloodaxe and Haakon the Good, succeeded him. Harald married Snowfair, daughter of Swasi. When Snowfair died, she did not change, and as red and white she was as when she was alive; and the king sat ever by her (as seen here) and thought in his heart that she still lived.
