     "HAAKON ([Alrekstad] [919]-[Alrekstad] 960, bur Saeheim, North Hordaland[179]). Snorre records the birth of Haakon as King Harald's son by Thora Mosterstang, born after his father's division of territories[180]. The Historia Norwegie names "Hacon" as second son of "Haraldus Comatus", recording that he was adopted by "Adalstanus rex Anglorum"[181]. Known as "Adalstenfostre/Athalsteins fóstri", he lived in England at the court of Athelstan King of Wessex, converting to Christianity there[182]. According to Snorre, on hearing of his father's death in 934, he returned to Norway arriving in Tröndheim where he allied himself with Sigurd Jarl of Hlader "who was the ablest man in Norway" and was chosen as king by the people, at the age of 15[183]. He conquered the Uplands in early 935 and Viken where he received the support of his nephews Trygve and Gudrod[184]. His half-brother Erik "Blodøks/Blood-axe" fled to Orkney in the face of growing opposition to his rule, and he succeeded in 936 as HAAKON I "Godi/the Good" King of Norway. The Historia Norwegie records that "Hacone fratre suo" succeeded "Ericus…Blothex", who was deposed after ruling one year and fled to England[185]. He defeated the Danes, who regularly plundered Viken, in Jutland[186]. He attempted unsuccessfully to christianise Norway[187]. According to the Historia Norwegie, he returned to the pagan religion[188]. He initiated the coastal defence system of bonfires known as "leidang". He also established a system of courts of appeal covering large districts of Norway. He was defeated in battle by the sons of his half-brother King Erik "Blodøks/Blood-axe"[189]. According to the Historia Norwegie, he received a mortal wound "in…oppido…Fittium" while fighting the sons of his brother King Erik, and died at his manor "Alrecstathi" [Alrekstad] where he had also been born[190].
