Harald Fairhair's campaign in Götaland was an attack that took place in the 870's. Snorri Sturluson writes in Harald Fairhair's saga that Harald Fairhair disputed the Swedish king Eric Eymundsson's hegemony in what is today southern Norway. He attacked and forced Viken to accept his rule and then plundered and burnt in Ranrike. Because of this the Norwegian skald Þorbjörn hornklofi boasted that the Swedes stayed indoors whereas the Norwegians were out on the sea. The Geats arrived to the ships with a great army to fight king Harald, but they lost after great losses.
