Harald may have planned to be taken …
Years: 1046 - 1046
Harald may have planned to be taken as king of his father's petty kingdom, and thereafter claim the rest of the country.
The people are in any case unwilling to turn against Magnus, and upon hearing news of Harald's schemes, Magnus (abroad at the time) goes home to Norway with his entire army.
Magnus's advisors recommend that instead of going to war the young king not fight his uncle, and a compromise is reached in 1046 in which Harald will rule Norway (not Denmark) jointly with Magnus (although Magnus will have precedence).
Notably, Harald also has to agree to share half of his wealth with Magnus, who is effectively bankrupt and badly in need of funds.
