Harold I 1035-1040 AD Danish
Upon Cnut's death (12 November 1035), Harold's younger half-brother Harthacnut , the son of Cnut and his queen Emma of Normandy , was legitimate heir to the thrones of both the Danes and the English. Harthacnut, however, was unable to travel to his coronation in England because his Danish kingdom was under threat of invasion by King Magnus I of Norway and King Anund Jacob of Sweden . England's magnates favoured the idea of installing Harold Harefoot temporarily as regent, due to the difficulty of Harthacnut's absence, and despite the opposition of Godwin , the Earl of Wessex , and the Queen, he eventually wore the crown.
Harold survived an attempt to unseat him jointly led by Ælfred Ætheling and Edward the Confessor, Emma's sons by the long-dead Æthelred the Unready, in 1036.
