Harold I of Aldemar

Harold I of Aldemar (76 BU—11 BU) was a King of Aldemar. The son of Alderic II, he inherited a devolved kingdom embittered by corruption. However, the corruption was not so severe as it was in his son Harold II's reign. Harold was regarded as an old, sickly man who begat his first son too late in life. Judged as characteristically weak in comparison to his predecessors, his commands were often ignored, and he found himself too physically weak to uphold law and order.

After Harold's death, the Huscing was tempted to elect a lord other than Harold II as Harold's successor; however, they did not wish to set a precedent by neglecting the Aldering dynasty.
