Overall, ""Early Kings of Norway"" is an essential read for anyone interested in Norse history and the early development of Scandinavian society.Harald took the sword, drew it, or was half drawing it, admiringly from the scabbard, when the English excellency broke into a scornful laugh, ""Ha, ha; thou art now the feudatory of my English king; thou hast accepted the sword from him, and art now his man!"" (acceptance of a sword in that manner being the symbol of investiture in those days.) Harald looked a trifle flurried, it is probable; but held in his wrath, and did no damage to the tricksy Englishman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
