  • 18:5418:54, 22 March 2020 diff hist +9 Harald Wartooth Forgot to put Category:People whose existence is disputed. This goes along with previous edit, which is: Harald Wartooth is more on historic ground because of possibly being identical to a King Harald who is mentioned on Frankish Sources, so this personage of Harald Wartooth is more in the domain of being semi-legendary, but still belongs in the category of "People whose existence is disputed"
