According to the saga of Palnatoke he was killed by Palnatoke with an Arrow. Different explanations for this. One was an early Wilhelm Tell like story. He was made to shout of an Aple of his sons head. Hence he took revenge in the end by killing the king.

D. SENEST 987 HARALD 1. BL√ÖTAND
Harald 1. Blåtand (d√∏d senest 987), s√∏n af Gorm den Gamle og Dronning Thyra. Indskriften på den store Jellingesten fort√¶ller, at han erobrede hele Danmark og Norge; men den pr√¶cise geografiske udstr√¶kning af hans kongemagt er uvis. Betydelige bygningsanl√¶g fra omkring 980 \endash ringborge, udbygningen af Dannevirke og broen over Ravning Enge \endash tyder dog på en vis rigssamling. Det anf√∏res på samme Jellingesten, at han kristnede danerne, og opf√∏relsen af den f√∏rste tr√¶kirke i Jelling tilskrives ham. Hans tilnavn skyldes formentlig en i√∏jnefaldende d√•rlig tand.
Ringborgene, Trelleborg, Nonnebakken, Fyrkat, Aggersborg og Vallø Borgring tillægges Harald Blaatand
