Battle of Hafrsfjord
The Battle of Hafrsfjord (''Slaget i Hafrsfjord'') has traditionally been regarded as the battle in which western Norway was for the first time unified under a single monarch.〔(''Battle in Hafersfjord'' (Heimskringla) )〕
==Significance==
Although most scholars currently tend to regard the unification as a process lasting centuries, rather than being the result of a single battle, the Battle of Hafrsfjord ranks high in the popular imagination of Norway. It was the conclusion of King Harald I of Norway's declaration to become the sole ruler of Norway. This battle may well have been the largest in Norway up to that time and for a good while after.〔(''Searching for Traces of the Battle of Hafrsfjord – 872 AD'' (ThorNews, May 2, 2014) )〕
It was formerly believed that this battle was the decisive event in the unification of Norway. According to Snorri's saga, King Harald controlled large parts of Norway's southeast portion before the battle; but other sources claim that the eastern portion of Norway was under the Danish king. The Battle of Hafrsfjord marks the final crushing of opposition from Norway's southwestern portion (primarily Rogaland, but also chieftains from the Sognefjord area). This made it possible for King Harald to subdue the country and collect taxes from a large part of it. Later historiography regarded him as the first legitimate King of Norway. Many of the defeated who would not submit to Harald's rule emigrated to Iceland (q.v.).
