  • The battle at Hakadal was the first battle in Snorre Sturlasson's narration of Harald Fairhair's unification of Norway. Heimskringla tells of how when king Halfdan the Black of Vestfold died his son Harald was still only a child of ten. The kings of the surrounding countries quickly attempted to take advantage of the perceived weakness of the child king. While several kings from Oppland were gathering forces in the north, king Gandalf Alfgeirsson of Alfheimr was the first to strike. He split his army in two, one force led by his son was to advance on land, while the other, led by Gandalv, was to cross the sea and attack the Vestfold army from the rear. On hearing of the enemy army approaching king Harald's regent, his uncle , quickly raised an army and marched towards the army advancing overland. Guttorm destroyed the enemy army, and Hake fell there. The valley where they fought has later taken his name. After the battle Guttorm turned his forces to face the army of king Gandalv that had landed in Vestfold, further south. Guttorm forced Gandalv to retreat, and destroyed most of his army. (en)
  • La batalla de Hakedal es la primera contienda conocida del rey Harald I en su ambición de unificar todos los reinos noruegos bajo su autoridad, según la saga Heimskringla de Snorri Sturluson. Heimskringla menciona la muerte del rey Halfdan el Negro de Vestfold cuando su hijo Harald solo tenía diez años. Los caudillos vikingos de los territorios adyacentes rápidamente tomaron ventaja de la debilidad de un niño rey. Algunos reyes de Oppland reunieron fuerzas armadas en el norte, entre ellos Gandalf Alfgeirsson de Alvheim que fue el primero en atacar dividiendo su ejército en dos partes, una liderada por su hijo Hake Gandalfsson avanzando por tierra, la otra, el mismo Gandalf por mar en una ofensiva por la retaguardia del ejército de Vestfold. Ante las noticias del acercamiento del enemigo, el caudillo regente de Harald, su tío Guttorm Sigurdsson Dagling, organizó un ejército y derrotó a las fuerzas de tierra, donde el mismo Hake murió. El valle donde lucharon tomó más tarde su nombre (Hakedal).​ Tras su triunfo por tierra, Guttorm dirigió sus fuerzas hacia el rey Gandalf que había desembarcado en el flanco sur de Vestfold. Guttorm forzó la retirada de ejército de Gandalf, destrozando la mayor parte de su milicia. (es)
