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.

Which situation represents a business benefiting from global trade?
lisabon 2012 [21]

<em>B. A company has new multinational consumers.</em>

Explanation:

Global trade is the act where a business expands the places they trade from, which usually earns them more money and different types of goods.

<u>A. A company creates new regional jobs.</u> This is incorrect, creating regional jobs means creating jobs within a close proximity of one another, which has nothing to do with global trade.

<u>B. A company has new multinational consumers.</u> <em>This is correct</em>, if a company has multinational consumers, that means they are benefiting from global trade from other nations and creating ties to trade consistently between them.

<u>C. A company invests in several business ventures.</u> This is incorrect, this has nothing to do with global trade. We do not know if these business ventures are overseas, also investing usually is not a first-hand benefit from global trade in the first place.

<u>D. A company becomes more successful and self-reliant.</u> This is incorrect, this has nothing to do with global trade. Although many businesses become more successful with global trade, they usually don't become more self-reliant as they are now relying on numerous other multinational businesses and consumers.

If you were a US civilian living during World War II, which government action would have influenced your everyday life most?
trasher [3.6K]
If i were a US civilian living during World War II, the rationing of materials to support the war effort would be the government action that would have influenced my everyday life the most. The correct option in regards to the given question is option "D". Rationing of materials would definitely create a shortage of regularly needed materials in the market. This would be a hard thing to accept. Since we all live our daily life in a fixed pattern, it is difficult to adjust to any kind of curtails. This shortage can always lead to a higher rate for buying those restricted materials and thus my income could seem less than before as the cost of buying gets increased.

The image depicts the eruption of Mount Vesuvius which occurred in AD 79. It was painted with oil on canvas by an unknown artist
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

It was created after the event took place

Explanation:

There are two types of sources in history, primary and secondary.

Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79 while the painter painted it on the oil canvas in 1812. The painter was not present during the event, the painting is an imaginary depiction of the eruption, so it is a secondary source.

If the same painting was created by someone who was present when the volcano erupted, then it would have been considered as primary source.
