abt 980-abt 985 (according to Adam of Bremen): King of Norway, following Haakon [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 3/26/1997]

The otherwise unknown Hartild ("Hartildum") of Adam of Bremen appears to be a slip of the pen for Harald [Bluetooth] ("Haroldum"), as nobody else could reasonably be stated to rule both Denmark and Norway during this period, and the suggested scribal error involves only a couple of letters ("o" replaced by "ti", presumably due to bad handwriting). The relevant passage is from Adam of Bremen, Book 2, xxv(22): "In Norway Haakon was the ruler. When the Norwegians drove him from the realm because he had acted haughtily, Harold valorously restored him and made him well-disposed to the worshipers of Christ. Exceedingly cruel, this Haakon, of the stock of Ivar and descended from a race of giants, was the first among the Norwegians to seize a kingship whereas chiefs had ruled before. Now Haakon, after completing thirty-five years on the throne, died and left as heir to his scepter Hartild, who at the same time possessed Denmark and Norway." ("In Norveja Haccon princeps erat, quem, dum Nortmanni superbius agentem regno depellerent, Haroldus sua virtute restituit et Christicolis placatum effecit. Haccon iste crudelissimus, ex genere Inguar et giganteo sanguine descendens, primus inter Nordmannos regnum arripuit, eum autea ducibus regerentur. Igitur Haccon, triginta quinque annis in regno exactis, obiit, Hartildum relinquens sceptri heredem, qui simul Daniam possedit atque Nordmaniam.") [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 3/26/1997]
