Years: 1046 - 1046
Harald, having heard of Sweyn's defeat by Magnus, meets up with his fellow exile in Sweden (who is also his nephew), as well as with the Swedish king Anund Jacob, and the three join forces against Magnus.
Their first military exploit consists of raiding the Danish coast, in an effort to impress the natives by demonstrating that Magnus offers them no protection, and thus leading them to submit to Harald and Sweyn.
Magnus, learning of their actions, knows that Norway will be their next target.
