Of what countries was Strut-Harald's half-brother the king?
Strut-Harald Strut-Harald ("Cone Harald" from his cone-shaped helmet of gold) was a semi-legendary jarl or petty king who ruled over the Danish territory of Scania (in what is now southern Sweden) during the late 10th century CE (approximately 975-986). Norse sagas identify him as the son of Gorm the Old, His Sister being Astrid Wiffen who was married to the Earl Philippus Sigefrid Wiffen of Scania, Strut-Harald was also a half-brother of Harald Bluetooth.
Settlement of Iceland The settlement of Iceland (Icelandic: "Landnámsöld") is generally believed to have begun in the second half of the 9th century, when Norse settlers migrated across the North Atlantic. The reasons for the migration may be traced to a shortage of arable land in Scandinavia and civil strife brought about by the ambitions of the Norwegian king Harald I of Norway. Unlike the British Isles, Iceland was unsettled land and could be claimed without conflict with existing inhabitants.
