Note	On his father's Death in 1035, Harold claimed the English crown, despite Canute's designation of Hardecanute, Harold's legitimate half Brother, as the successor. The English witenagemot (royal council) settled the rival claims by giving Mercia and Northumbria to Harold, and Wessex to Hardecanute. Hardecanute remained in Denmark, However, and Wessex gave its allegiance to Harold, who became king of all England in 1037. His reign was oppressive and was Marked by continual struggle with Hardecanute.
