What makes Harald Hardrada a good king?

History
1 answer:
deff fn [24]3 years ago
8 0
The title Hardrada meant hard ruler which should give you an idea of why Harald deserved to be king of Norway. However, you are mistaken in thinking that he was Norman. He was Norse or a northman. Perhaps you are confusing him with William of Normandy who defeated the English forces at the Battle of Hastings mere days after Harold Godwinson, the English king, heavily defeated Harald's army at the Battle of Stamford Bridge where Harald's claim to the English throne ended with his death.

Now, you ask why Harald deserved to be king. I think you should be asking why he wanted to be king instead. I think the answer you want is the one I have copied here.

Harald Hardrada...

"had come to England with the idea of claiming the English Throne as his own, basing this claim on a supposed agreement between Magnus and Harthacanute whereby if either died without heir, the other would inherit both England and Norway. Instead, he met his end."

Now you need to find out who Magnus and Harthacanute were if you are to answer your question fully. The link below will take you to the article from which I have taken the above quote.

I would suggest that for future reference, rather than ask a question like this one and then wait for someone to answer it, use Google. You will usually find exactly what you want and in a very short time too. Finding this information for you took me all of two minuted. Anyway, it's far more fun researching and finding out the answers for yourself. So off you go and find out who Magnus and Harthacanute were. I hope this helps.

Why did the German support hitlers anti Jewish policies?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Many reasons

Explanation:

Jewish People were targeted and hated long before Hitler was even born. Antisemitism was nothing new when he showed up and began his political campaign. Churches (specifically Christian churches) portrayed Jews as unwilling to accept word of God, as agents of the devil, and as murderers of Jesus. Jewish people were accused of murdering children for religious rituals, causing plague, and conspiring to dominate the world. Obviously, none of this is true but back then, especially before media was prominent, people listened to politicians and the church.

In the 19th century, Jewish people were classed as a race and even now that ancient hate caused by lies remained. It was believed that even if a Jewish person was converted to Christianity, they still were evil as they had "Jew Blood"

Wounded German pride was to thank for Hitler's quick following. Germany's loss was pitted on German Jews, despite being a small population of the country, Hitler claiming that Jewish people had stabbed them in the back. This, obviously, was not true but it got the ball rolling. Mass debt and poverty had the country on its knees after the war. People were suffering and needed someone to look up to... Hitler was that someone, providing a new hope for German people. He brought back their pride and strengthened the country once more. People trusted him and Jewish people suffered as a result.

Historians are unable to pinpoint his antisemitism to one specific event. It is actually unknown specifically why he had such a grudge against Jewish people.
