About Harald II of Denmark
Harald Svendsen was King of Denmark from 1014 until his death in c. 1018. He was the youngest son of Sweyn Forkbeard and Gunhild of Wenden, and was regent while his father was fighting Æthelred the Unready in England. After his father's death, he was elected to the Danish throne in 1014, while his brother, the later king Cnut the Great was elected to the throne of England. After his death in 1018(?), he was succeeded by Cnut the Great. Little detail is known about Harald II.
