I just found this interesting:
Harald Hadrada is a fascinating character in his own right, leading the Emperor's bodyguard in Constantinople, then returning to Norway to become king, only to then invade England and be defeat by Harold in 1066 - just before Harold was in turn defeated by William the Conqueror.
Also interesting to see Clan MacLeod as descending from the kings of the Isle of Man - isn't that where the "there can be only one" Highlander came from?
