Haralds saga Sigurðarsonar is an Old Icelandic king's saga focusing on the career of King Haraldr Sigurðarson of Norway (popularly referred to in English as Harald Hardrada). The title Haralds saga Sigurðarsonar usually refers specifically to the account of Haraldr given in the collection of kings' sagas known as Heimskringla and attributed to Snorri Sturluson (1178/79–1241), though a substantially similar account is given in one of Snorri's main sources, the collection Morkinskinna, which seems to have given the title Saga Magnús góða ok Haralds harðráða to the equivalent section.

dbo:abstract
  • Haralds saga Sigurðarsonar is an Old Icelandic king's saga focusing on the career of King Haraldr Sigurðarson of Norway (popularly referred to in English as Harald Hardrada). The title Haralds saga Sigurðarsonar usually refers specifically to the account of Haraldr given in the collection of kings' sagas known as Heimskringla and attributed to Snorri Sturluson (1178/79–1241), though a substantially similar account is given in one of Snorri's main sources, the collection Morkinskinna, which seems to have given the title Saga Magnús góða ok Haralds harðráða to the equivalent section. In the estimation of Alison Finlay and Anthony Faulkes, 'while Óláfs saga helga dominates Heimskringla as a whole, Haralds saga Sigurðarsonar achieves this status over the sagas of its final third, by virtue both of its length and of the compelling character of Haraldr himself'.
