On his father's death, in 1035, he succeeded as King of [[Denmark]], but a dispute with '''Magnus I''' of [[Norway]] meant he did not sail to England to claim that throne, but left his elder half-brother [[Harald Harefoot]] to rule there as his regent. Harald elected, in 1037, to take the throne in his own right, but, in 1040, whilst Hardicanute was on his way with an army to invade and depose him, Harald died.
