Misc. Notes
The list of Norwegian kings is traditionally throught to begin in 872 with the battle of Hafrsfjord, after which victorious King Harald Fairhair merged several petty kingdoms into that of his father. Harald's realm was later to be known as the Kingdom of Norway. Now existing continuously for over 1,100 years, the Kingdom of Norway is one of the oldest states of Europe.
