Haakon Jarl

Haakon Sigurdsson (c. 937–995), usually known as Haakon Jarl, was the de facto ruler of Norway from about 975 to 995. Sometimes he is styled as Haakon the Powerful, though the Ágrip and Historia Norwegiæ give the less flattering name Hákon Illi, that is, Haakon the Bad.

Netflix

The name likely inspired the fictional character Jarl Estrid Haakon in the Netflix series Vikings: Valhalla. Jarl Estrid Haakon in the series is played by a black woman.
