Reginald ii assumes manx throne.

May 6th , 1249

King Harald of the Isle of Man was the son of his predecessor, King Olaf II of the Isle of Man. He rose to power in the 1237 after his fathers death. His father had acquired a sizable empire during his rule, spanning many islands. Finding himself in control of this, Harald decided to tour his dominion and left his cousin Laglan as a steward in his absence. During Haralds absence, Laglan caused a great disturbance, though what actually transpired is unknown. On Haralds return, Laglan fled the island along with Haralds youngest son

After his return, Harald ruled peacefully over his significant empire. During this time he was knighted by King Henry III of England.

King Harald eventually died in a shipwreck off the coast of Wales when returning from Norway after marrying the daughter of Norways King. He was succeeded by King Ragnald II of the Isle of Man.
