=== !The Harding name is Danish and is of Vi ===
!The Harding name is Danish and is of Viking origin, it means
Hard One, a name bestowed as an honour on some one who distinguished
himself in battle. The appearance of the name in England is well
documented as a matter of historical record. The first Harding
in England is listed in the Anglo Saxon Chronicles between the
yeard 1000 and 1100. He was named Eadnoth Harding (a name he earned)
and was the younger brother of the Danish English King, probably
King Knut (Canute). He was Master of the Horse under the King who
died of natural causes, then under King Harald of Norway also King
of England and then under King William the Conqueror. Master of the
horse meant he was the leader of the King's mounted army. The fact
that he retained that position under three Kings is probably
because he was politically powerful and secondly because these
Kings were from one Viking family disputing the rights of
succission, he was probably a family member.
