Horrild Hairwire

Horrild Hairwire is a reference to Harald Fair Hair, or Harald Hårfagre, the 1st king of Norway, whose reign was from 872-930. His reign was disturbed by strife between his sons, who all had royal titles and land over which they ruled. When he died, his favorite son, Eirik Bloodaxe, succeeded him. However, his reign was contested by Harald's youngest (and illegitimate) son, Haakon the Good, whose mother was Harald's maid. There is also an "horild" on 610.3 (in the Mutt & Jutt episode)
