Hákon was the son of Magnús Haraldsson and the grandson of Haraldr harðráði (see Genealogy II.2 in ÍF 28). He was fostered by Steigar-Þórir Þórðarson (SteigÞ), hence his nickname Þórisfóstri ‘Foster-son of Þórir’. Hákon ruled Norway with his cousin, Magnús berfœttr, from 1093 until his death in February 1094. See Theodoricus (MHN 59; McDougall and McDougall 1998, 47), Ágr (ÍF 29, 42-3; Ágr 1995, 60-5), Mork (Mork 1928-32, 297-8; Andersson and Gade 2000, 285-6), Fsk (ÍF 29, 302-3; Finlay 2004, 241-2), Hkr (ÍF 28, 210-12; Hollander 1991, 668-70), H-Hr (Fms 7, 1‑4).
