Senere har der utvivlsomt været nær kontakt med sakserne, der nu var sidste bolværk mod frankernes fremtrængen sydfra. Det fremgår - desværre kun af mange slægtstavler uden kildeangivelse - at Harald o.760 bliver gift med Imhild, en datter af sakserkongen Warnekin (d. 765). Sakserne har dermed fået visse vigtige sikkerhedsgarantier, mens omvendt medgiften ved ægteskabet må have givet Harald magt over et eller andet med tilknytning til saksernes land. Det mest nærliggende er Holsten, altså området nord for Elben.

Translation: Later, there has undoubtedly been close contact with the Saxons, who were now the last bulwark against the francs' penetration from the south. It appears - unfortunately, only of many family boards without a source statement - that Harald o.760 gets married to Imhild, a daughter of the sheriff king Warnekin (d. 765). The saxons have thus received certain important security guarantees, whereas conversely, the marriage of marriage must have given Harald power over something related to the land of the Saxons. The most nearby is Holstein, that is, the area north of the Elbe. [Sharon Doubell via Google 2019]
