Harold Harefoot

Monarchs and Rulers

Harold I, commonly known as Harold Harefoot, was King of England from 1037 to 1040. His epithet first appears in twelfth-century records from Ely Abbey as Harefoh or Harefah, and later medieval writers suggested it referred to his speed and skill as a runner or hunter.
