HAREID

Province : Møre og Romsdal

Arms (crest) of Hareid

Official blazon

På blå grunn tre opprette sølv piloddar, to over ein.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 11, 1985.

The arms show three arrow-points as a symbol for the battle of Hjørungavåg in 986, in which Earl Håkon defeated Danish Vikings. This battle played an important role in the struggle by Håkon to unite the whole of Norway. As the battle took place in the municipality the arrow-points were considered an appropriate symbol.
