History of the battle of Hafrsfjord
The battle of Hafrsfjord has been described in the Saga of Harald Fairhair in Snorre Sturlason’s Heimskringla (the best known of the Old Norse kings’ sagas), and it is considered to be the most important battle that contributed to the gathering of West Norway and Norway into one country. Back then, Norway was run by several kings, and the battle was between Harald Fairhair and these other kings. The dating of the battle to 872 is not confirmed, and could just as easily have happened in the 880s. In Hafrsfjord, divers have long searched for possible remains from the battle, however nothing has been found so far. There are still strong indications that the battle took place in Hafrsfjord.
