Harold Harefoot
Harold Harefoot or Harold I ( 1015 – 17 March 1040) was King of England from 1035 to 1040. His cognomen "Harefoot" referred to his speed, and the skill of his huntsmanship.〔Bartlett, p. 38〕 He was the younger son of Cnut the Great, king of England, Denmark, and Norway by his first wife, Ælfgifu of Northampton.〔Stafford, Ælfgifu〕

The ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' reports that Harold said that he was a son of Cnut the Great and Ælfgifu of Northampton, "''although it was not true''". Florence of Worcester (12th century) elaborates on the subject. Claiming that Ælfgifu wanted to have a son by the king but was unable to, she secretly adopted the newborn children of strangers and pretended to have given birth to them. Harold was reportedly the son of a cobbler, while his brother Svein Knutsson was the illegitimate son of a priest. She deceived Cnut into recognizing both children as his own. Harriet O'Brien doubts that Cnut, the shrewd politician who "''masterminded the bloodless takeover of Norway''" could have been deceived in such a way. She suspects that the tale started out as a popular myth, or intentional defamation presumably tailored by Emma of Normandy, the other wife of Cnut and rival to Ælfgifu.〔.Also covers his wife and children.〕〔(O'Brien, Queen Emma and the Vikings, p. 167 )〕
