I'd rather play, but someone should make the videos :-)
A veteran Viking warrior and adventurer, Haralad Hadrada deserves his own HBO mini-series.
No cell phones. No Wi-Fi. Norse, Normans, and Saxons just living in the moment lol.
Yes, all this violence was caused by video games btw.
I always considered Harold Godwinson to be a softie compared to the likes of vikings or William the Conqueror, but that line about letting Hardråde have 7 feet of English land was ice cold.
guys its me the lone berserker i guarded the stamford bridge
So Harold Godwinson went from ending the era of viking invasions with one of the most impressive victories in English history, only to turn and hightail it into history as losing THE pivotal battle in English history to the Normans. Maybe the craziest three weeks in Medieval history.
The ramifications of Stamford Bridge were actually huge. The victory was so comprehensive that when Harold let the survivors return home under oath that they and their heirs never return - the oath was actually kept and there was never a major viking campaign against England again. Most historians regard 1066 as the end of the viking age in Europe. In any other year, Stamford Bridge would rank alongside or even above the Battle of Britain (which ended the threat of Nazi Invasion) or Trafalgar (which ended the Napoleonic invasion threat) and Harold Goodwinson would probably be remembered as "the Great" who ended the centuries long threat of Viking invasions for all time. Instead, it's been kind of relegated to a footnote to the "main event" of 1066.
That lone norseman at Stamford bridge is an absolute mad lad...
what a tragedy humanity is
"There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks when decades happen." ...and then there's 2020.
1066 is one of those years where when reading the number you instantly know what the discussion is about
So...
I love that little story of the unknown viking holding off an entire army on the bridge. Mad shit like that is why I love history.
The year 1066 could be a damn movie trilogy for real! One movie for each of the claimants to the throne, just saying it would be amazing
Harold Godwinson made the 190 mile march North in an unprecedented 5 days.... he then marched the 190 miles back to London with the core of his weary army in about the same time, took a 2 day rest, and then marched them another 60+miles south to Hastings for their second battle, which he very nearly won. Pretty incredible.
It should be remembered that Hardrada's force contained a good many Varangians with huge military experience. Hardrada's story is honestly fascinating, an exiled prince who goes off to fight for the Emperor of Rome in Constantinople, rises to become the leader of the Varangian guard, wins many battles against arabs, bulgars, pechenegs, and more, and upon seeing his friend the Emperor assassinated; escapes from the Roman world and its cunning Empress with a good deal of those great Varangian warriors who were loyal to him, returns to Norway from his exile and takes what is rightfully his. He then goes over to England and dies.

Small mistake in the map. In the Netherlands region, you've put Flevoland within the Ijselmeer. The problem here is that Flevoland was artificially made in 1986...
