Snorre records that, “after his father Gudrod’s fall” (dated to [960/65]), Harald "Grenske" “fled to the Uplands”, before heading “eastward into Svithjod” where he “cruised...in summer” with “a man...Toste...a great warrior...often in battle, and...therefore called Skoglar-Toste”, and “in the winter...after passing two years in the Uplands, took up his abode with Toste”[242]. He supported the invasion of Norway by Harald King of Denmark in 965, and was rewarded with Vingulmark, Vestfold and Agder with the title of king[243].
