'''Harold''' I ('''Harefoot''') (c.1016-1040), [[king]] of [[England]] (1035-1040), was the son of king [[Canute]] by his first wife, Ælgifu; and succeeded his father over the opposition of his half-brother, [[Harthacanute]], the issue of Canute’s second marriage. Although agreeing to share the kingdom with Harthacanute, within 2 years Harold was effectively in control of all England. He died in 1040, sparing Harthacanute the trouble of an invasion.
