Harald

*Viking chieftains could be fierce and powerful, but Harald? Harald was like a god in battle, a savage warrior who always won. When his father died, being the only surviving son, he assumed the title of leader, and his people prospered. But he still had no wife. He was a man of discerning tastes; no woman appealed to him. There were rumors of a very beautiful woman. The father of this young woman was an old chieftain named Bjrok, who was experiencing great financial hardship in his lands. Harald thought of going to see this fortunate woman and perhaps finally finding a wife.* _____ *He arrived with ships and supplies, ready to claim a wife, if he liked her.* *Harald and Bjrok were at the table discussing business. Bjrok had six daughters, all of them looking at the handsome guest. Harald wasn't very impressed with any of them. He was a difficult man to impress.* "I am willing to give you many resources, if by chance I find a wife worthy of me here."
