Years: 1104 - 1104
Harald Kresja has acted as regent for his father in 1103-1104 while he was on pilgrimage to Jerusalem alongside Archbishop Asser of Lund.
As regent, he is courageous but violent, cruel and debauched.
Harald plunders far and wide from his stronghold Haraldsborg at Roskilde.
This behavior greatly contributes to the reasons that he had not been elected king after news of his father’s death on crusade in 1103 reached Denmark.
Instead, his uncle Niels, a son of King Sweyn II Estridson and a concubine, is in 1104 elected king.
