Harald Granraude (Haraldr hinn granrauði) was a Norwegian petty king of Agder who 
lived in the 9th century.

He was married to Gunnhild Ragnvaldsdottir, daughter of Ragnvald Sigurdsson, of 
Huseby on the peninsula of Lista. He was father to Åsa Haraldsdottir and great-
grandfather of Harald Fairhair (Haraldr Hárfagri), the first king of Norway. [1][2]

When Gudrød the Hunter (Gudrød Veidekonge), of Borre in Vestfold proposed marriage 
to Åsa after the death of his first wife, Harald Granraude refused the proposal. This 
made Gudrød angry and he sailed with his ships to the king's farm on Tromøy. He 
arrived at Harald's farm during and made a surprise attack. When Harald saw an army 
was coming, he retaliated with all his men. It was a hard battle and Harald lost. He 
and his son, Gyrd Haraldsson, were both killed. King Gudrød looted Harald's treasure 
and took and married Åsa. [3]
