History Shorts: Stamford Bridge (1066)

Anglo Saxon King Harold faced two invasions at once in 1066. He faced Harald Hardrada’s Viking force and William the Bastard’s Normans. He decided to face the Vikings first and marched to East Riding, Yorkshire to face the Norwegians. Hardrada and his brother Tostig Godwinson died symbolically ending the Viking Age. King Harold’s forces achieved an incredible and decisive victory, but they still had to contend with the Normans. The victory at Stamford Bridge helped William the Bastard as it tired the Anglo Saxons. In the end, the Normans conquered England. Stamford Bridge played a pivotal role in the Norman Conquest.
