Halfdan was half-brother of King Olaf the Saint and brother of King Harald who died in 
1066 in a battle in England. When King Olaf asked him what he would like most to 
have, he said "cows". When asked how many he replied "So many that when they 
were watered they would stand thickly around the whole pond".

Halfdan is not reference directly by Burke's Peerage, but is implied by them stating 
that his daughter Bergliot was a "niece of Harald III Hardradi of Norway", who is 
Halfdan's brother.
