"Ved Stanford Brua" - Norse Song of The Battle at Stamford Bridge

- The battle at Stamford Bridge in 1066 is what marked the decline of the vikings, and the end of the viking era. It is also said that if the Norsemenn had won here, they would've ruled much of Britain for years to come. The king in this song, Harald Hardråda, is concidered to be the last great viking king in history.
The song was created by Norwegian folk singer Harald Foss.

the northman at the bridge getting stabbed into his bits was a true standford bruh-a moment

@Norman Pagan I get the urge tp break the geneva convention on you
That was tjodolf sterken (tjodolf the strong) he was a Roar means hes Main Job was to row the ship so the best fighters was less tired. They where also called giants in many songs the rowing guys, anyways the history of This war aint was not really a war between france and England, it was between four Norwegian clans, charlemagnes actual name when he left norway was karl Magne (free and strong man, is hes Norwegian name translated to english) hes from same ætt as gang Rolf whos hirdsmenn occupied Normandie, (Norman /Normann) is Norwegian for Norwegian) (dialects). And they wanted to tale the power from sverre ætta etc so it was a family feud that instigated the battle..England was already under dane law, and the Norwegians had already established jorvik (York)and Dublin and several other strongholds, so the intention wasnt to go to war with the british People but the danish saxons who saw themselves as a legit autority because they had installed a danish king and he was able to unite nortumbria Essex etc against the Norwegians, that was compllicated because the bagler clan contained both danes and Norwegians, which made four Norwegian gruops figth each other all over and they tried to kill all our kings, last attempt on kong sverre the third when he was Just four months old, 140 years after the battle at stamford bridge. That feud started about hundred years before that battle and ended when the danes gathered the chatolics of the world for the third time to make another genocide, but it was so much loss of lives that the chatolics thougth god was publishing them and a truce was made which later became a peace agreement which developed a few hundred years then we married the danes and was one country, but without the english /anglos William would lose to tjodolf alone. He was standing for more than 45 minutes alone, on the middle while People attacked him from both sides. At last he was shot from under the bridge between the boards by little saxon Child with a crossbow. So in a way a little kid won that battle. I Wonder if they now eats together and figth each other in valhall. In the song the Norwegians came shirtless while the english kings men had armors,i think thats maybe why tjodolf could figth so many for so Long, because Hes enemys was slow and heavy. While tjodolf even he was a Roar he was also trained in glima, would be cool if some alien tech had recorded it so we could see the moves and tactic he used. And it would be good for the sport of glima, sadly only norway and iceland has glima, but its now become very different styles,
He didnt get stabbed but shot with xbow from beneath the bridge one of the bolts hit hes inner tigh and cut the thickest pulse vein in your body exept for those directly from the heart. Maybe he was stabbed to, but according to our songs and sagas its not mentioned. We still signing about how tjodolf was defying physics Steel/Iron fire etc didnt Hurt him but a crossbow bolt killed him so i guess he wasnt immune to wood and rocks
Credit to the guy recording this in 1066
@Aggressive Tubesock No, you are
Aggressive Tubesock wooooosh
Aggressive Tubesock You are a 12 year old
Medieval Commentator: And the Norse are fighting brutally, and AH! Sorry, that was a narrow shave with an arrow, ladies and gents. Anyway, the Norse guy is on the bridge. He is fighting brutally. Look at that axe swing. *suck in of air* You fought well brave Saxon. But wait! There's a guy coming from under! He's going, going! Surely not, no! OH MA GOODNESS! AND HE HAS STABBED THE NORSE GUY FROM UNDER THE BRIDGE! 1-0 to the Anglo Saxons.
When listening to these historic songs you have to remind yourself almost all of them were recorded after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Props to the Viking guy with a 40/1 KDR.

@@starcluster2593 It is thought that a single Norseman held the bridge by killing 40 Anglo-Saxons before he himself died.
@@TemujinTheKhan Death by getting jabbed in the balls too, if the stories were true.
@@inspecthergadget4503 Come to think of it, his balls were an easy target. 'Cause his must've been huge to hold the bridge by himself.
@@starcluster2593 in the song which says they sent long thjodolf to hold the bridge he killed 40 saxons without any armour and just an axe and they were only able to cross the bridge when one solder reached him from below and impaled a sphere
In Greece we are only taught about Hardrada as a famous member of the Byzantine emperor's Varangian guard, who later went on to become a Norse king. Learning that he was killed in Stanford bridge is strangely like being informed that an old friend has died. Kind of wanted him to have had a better ending.
In Norway, we say Hellas and not greece like the rest of the world
@@guzelataroach4450 You are not norwegian though. You are from the people that Harald fought against, while serving the Roman emperor.

It may not have been the best ending of harald, but he died a glorious death and what more could a warrior like him ask for
In England he is seen as one of the two invaders of that time
We must apologise for the spear in the groin, not really cricket that, but the chap on the bridge earned his fame the hard way. Rest in Peace.
Steve Clark Yeah he was a beast. None of those Anglo saxons could best him, so they dogged the fight

The berserker’s kill count was a complete fabrication at best...
The story of the man who held the bridge for the Norwegian king is attested in both Saxon and Norse sources. He was said to swing a large Dane-axe, and was able to hold the bridge so long "for the Anglo-Saxons could stand but 4 across".
Yes I heard about that story, he held off until someone snuck up on him and stabbed him in the back, unfortunately his efforts were in vain, because the Anglo Saxons were able to catch up with the rest of the fleeing army later
@@juancarlosdegoya2757 the army didnt flee though
@@PajamaJazama well from what I heard, he was trying to hold off the Anglo Saxons so that they could get away but I guess I was wrong
@@juancarlosdegoya2757 He was holding them off awaiting reinforcements, aka Orri's storm IIRC. He expected the English to surrender, so his army had left behind most of their armor with said reinforcements. The reinforcements ran so far some supposedly died of exhaustion. Just some funfacts for ya :)
@@PajamaJazama oh ok thanks good to know, he - he
Imagine being so epic the actual battle of Stanford Bridge is just named the second one after you held up an entire army by your own
I honestly believe most of (not all) myths and legends of berserker can be attributed to the bravery, heroism, loyalty and sheer savagery of that one man who held a bridge with his dane ax. Absolute mad Lad.
@Kängan 161 That was haraldrs nickname not the berserker
@@liamimbriolo6066 That story might've actually been propagated by the English to excuse poor English tactics when crossing the bridge.

Harald Hadrada is a great example of the saying that “count no man lucky until he is dead.” He lived a charmed life until he didn’t
Why?
hardråde...hard råde means hard rule. Harald Hardruler

@@Historicalstorical He became probably the richest and most successful mercenary of all time and returned to his home country to become king. His life was one big adventure
Live by the sword, die by it!
for clarification this is not a song from 1066, it's just a song a guy in modern Norway made about the fight
Edit: lamo never though this would get so much attention, but yeah this is not historically accurate, none of the modern "Viking music" genre is historically acurate. Sadly we no next to nothing about "Viking music". It's all good fun though and nothing wrong with it (Makes great workout tracks), but lets just make sure we have facts straight so we don't confuse younger people.

Harald Sigurdsson was promised a piece of England by Harold Godwinson. "I will give him just six feet of English soil, or, since they say he is a tall man, I will give him seven feet." Godwinson kept his word.
What a badass.
Then the other Norsemen got him from the other end of England. He had no chance. Poor Harold. What would England have become if he had won both battles?
@@hannannah1uk Anglo-Saxon identity would probably have been preserved
@@hannannah1uk England probably would've been more Germanic, hence more purely English
@@hannannah1uk You can hardly call the Normans of 1066 Norse. Their culture had been heavily integrated with the local French culture at that point.
Here in Greece we will be forever in your dept Harald Harldrada was a Varagian warrior and many others and with these warriors we defeated thousands of enemies 🇬🇷+🇳🇴=Friends.
Most Varangian guards were Swedish Vikings though who came from the Rus lands down the Dnieper.
But there was basically no difference between Swedish, Danish and Norwegians at that point. They spoke the same language and all that so I think it's silly to differentiate in that era.
@@danielk3919 Even today I'd say that we are very similar here in the north. We still understand each others languages, you know? Best wishes from Sweden!
@@danielk3919 at the time there was a slight difference and that comes with their specific styles of "viking" (referring to a water farer, or a man that makes his money at sea). swedish vikings tended to be traders in the baltic and often along rivers like the danube and the volga. some danish vikings traded but most raided the coast of western europe and were the most active in the practice of establishing danelaws and overseas kingdoms. the norwegian vikings were more commonly seen expeditioning out the far off lands (expeditioning referring to a voyage being sent out and not being expected to return for maybe several decades), evidence of that is how the northwest coast of scotland and eastern coast of ireland were raided and frequently settled by norwegians but these vikings rarely went inland like the danes so frequently did. their cultural and linguistic diffferences were extremely small but the differences in how their respective seafarers went about making their money were vast. its silly to differentiate when talking about scandinavia itself but talking about their impact on the rest of europe is where it really does matter.
@@danielk3919 The Rus Guards were also called the Varangian. Our nations lived together in the north of Russia for a long time.
"Seven feet of English soil, as he is taller than other men."
@Ricky Kalita Chad Sigurðarson ;-)
Nordmen are taller than the english
Who are you quoting?
@@jmgonzales7701 Not really, the Anglo-Saxons and Northmen were the same people, even their languages were mutually understood. Only their religion separated them.
Apparently Godwinson said six feet, not seven.
when i was 8 my family was forced to move from Norway to somewhere else. now 7 years later my heart aches every time i think about what i lost, it always feels like an unfinished fairytale where the hero is yet to return home.

My take on a translation (The number of syllables should match so it could be sung in English):
Harken now, Harald Sigurdsson,
the dreams of brother Olav
The lust for power you now must quench,
Ill shall be your fortune
Harken not to Tostig Earl,
whilst he strives for England's conquest,
Tord he had the strangest of dreams,
and ill were the omens many
The spring in the year thousand and sixty-six an army was preparing,
Powerhungry king reigned Norway
and anger clouded the lands,
One hundred and ninety five longships,
to the Orkney-islands sailing west,
From Torfinn sons he did request
one hundred extra longships.
Arriving now at York fortress, the walls and ground shaking.
The Earl Muru-Kåre fell, and Valtjov Earl took flight.
Harald and Tostig charged and roared,
and Valtjov Earl he gave his word,
the Riding Men of England's king
shall await at Stanford bridge.
Next day without their iron shirts, Harald and Tostig are roaming,
when far away the sunlight gleamed in helms and mails of plenty.
"The English King he is on our way,
The Thingmannalid banners how they sway!",
Bewildered are the Norsemen now,
They stand at Stanford Bridge
The Norsemen formed a line of men, courageous and with no fear,
Styrkår rode to the ships ashore as swift as the horse could bear.
But in order to stall the vicsious fight,
Tjodolv by himself took stance,
for he must hold the king's advance
alone on Stanford Bridge
Now Tjodolv, strong, he fought for long
the Anglosaxan King,
but from beneath a spear they threw,
and Tjodolv was overcome.
The second battle raging on,
and Øystein and Styrkår and all their men,
from their ships they ran to make it there
in time to the Stanford Bridge.
Harald took his place up front
and hew to left and right,
graygoose feathers on a shaft,
Harald's bane, he fell.
Øystein and Styrkår joined the fray,
with mail and armor to no avail,
from toil and wear they were to late
to fight for Stanford Bridge
The third battle did commence, 'twas called Orreira
there were many slain, both Sax and Norse
But Norsemen had to fly
And so it was that it came to be,
Wilhelm's men of France triumphed,
and Danish Law it was no more,
out there by the Stanford Bridge.

Frank Dieter based frank
Stamford Bridge was a norse defeat
@Frank Dieter How was Hastings a norse victory? If you're implying it's due to the norse ancestory then fair enough but idk how much of them were norse and what percentage.
Damn anglos
@Frank Dieter eh they lost tho
We were told that King Harold of England allowed the Norwegians to take the body of their King back home (not to mention allowing them to live), and for this courtesy Harold was spoken of with honour in Norwegian folklore. William the Bastard did not treat King Harold with the same respect - his leg was hacked off, he was castrated and beheaded. Cursed with lack of leadership the English continued to resist for 20 years. And despite the efforts of the French speaking Normans we still retain many Saxon and Norse words within our vocabulary - not least 1066 (oh, the irony).
to be fair, he stole the throne from him and killed his brother. Harold technically stole the throne from both kings, but had more respect for the Norse.
Godwinson Gang
This is insanely informative ❤
@@eggybreath2958
He was actually Anglo-Saxon, unlike William the Bastard who destroyed Anglo-Saxon England.
It's the 956th anniversary of the Battle of Stamford Bridge and I still miss him
"I will give him six feet of English ground, or as much as he is taller than other men."- Harold Godwinson.
Yo, regardless of whether you're with the Anglo's or with the Vikings, props to Thjodolf the Strong for holding that bridge for his buddies like a bro. Find yourselves a Thjodolf, ladies, that's all I'm gonna say.
noone knows the name of the warrior who held off the saxons through one on one combat, due mainly to the battle of hastings, otherwise we'd still be singing about him.
@@peterforden5917 We agree lol, but for the sake of the song I used the name Thjodolf. I don't think we can verify that name, sure, but it certainly flows off the tongue better than "That viking at Stamford Bridge" lol.
Though there aren't many dudes who are 7 feet tall and hold an entire English army at a strategic chokepoint just so that their bros can't get ambushed anymore.
@@masonwingate7683 well sure, but calling him by a fabricated name is just wrong, and he already kind of has a name. If you say "the nameless berserker at Stamford Bridge" there wouldn't be many people who do not know who you're talking about, as that is the "name" often attributed to him
@@juhaszmate5095 Indeed - find yourself a nameless berserker, ladies. I see nothing wrong with this 😀
something about this song makes me feel like one of the viking survivors, writing about what it was like there, watching all the chaos unfold. i would be old, living the rest of my life in the Dekkjene naturreservat, knowing that my grandchildren will, or might not be just like the warriors that have fought before him. it hits you hard.
as a dane this song makes me feel sad because its the end of the viking age
Me too as a swede. Our ancestors were tough men!
@@harrypjotr4075 Me too, as a Roman. We all were tough.
@@juliuscaesar5397
As an American, i feel the same(I know my name is Russian, but that doesn't mean i am). Our ancestors were tough Europeans who sailed across the ocean to flee religious persecution and survived on harsh new land, and then fought for independence. Sometimes i feel like Eastern Europeans and Russians are the only ones left who can truly say they are tough like their ancestors.
Would have loved to raid the anglos a bit longer
F for viking age
Harry Pjotr you guys were tough, a worthy opponent for us Scots, and we served as mercenaries in your wars throughout history!

Folklore is so good because it cannot be 100 % sure that everything went down like in the history books , this is from the perspective of a very small group of soldiers, which is probably how they saw it. Heritage is preserved in folklore.
both sides say the same thing, both say that Harald held that bridge and that he was stabbed in the balls with a spear from below, both sides say he died standing up, if both sides can agree on something imma believe it more then i normally would.

@@maximilienrobespierre6276 ну вообще-то это и есть флаг Великого Новгорода.
@@WeazelNewsBroadcasts интересно, не знал об этом.
Sad i can't find norman's scandinav flag
Нет, к сожалению Рюрик мифический персонаж существование которого не подтверждается ни одним параллельным источником( И нет ни одного исторического документа где встречалось бы такое словосочетание как "Новгородская Русь". Новгородцы себя Русью ну никак не считали(
И напоследок(как ликбез) пару цитат из повести временных лет:
"идоша за море к Варѧгом̑ . к Руси . сіце бо звахуть . ты Варѧ̑гы Русь . ӕко се друзии зовутсѧ Свеє(шведы) . друзии же Оурмани(норманы или норвежцы) . Аньглѧне. инѣи и Готе . тако и си ркоша . Русь"
То есть, как мы видим, Русь это не шведы и не норвежцы. К тому же история не знает ни одного скандинавского или вообще германского племени, что именовалось бы подобным образом и существовало во времена Рюрика.
И ещё одна важная цитата:
"В лѣт̑ . ҂s҃ . т҃ . ѯ҃ . [6360 (852)] индикта . е҃ı . наченшю Михаилу цс̑рьствовати . нача сѧ прозывати Рускаӕ землѧ . ѡ семъ бо оувѣдахом̑ . ӕко при̑ сем̑ цс̑ри приходиша Русь . на Цс̑рьград̑ . ӕко же писашеть в лѣтописании Грѣцком̑ . тѣмь же и ѿселѣ почнем̑ . и числа положим̑ . ӕко ѿ Адама"
Здесь говориться о том, что за 10 лет до "призвания варягов" Русь ходила на Константинополь. А значит ни от каких "варягов" Русь пойти просто не могла, ибо исходя из ПВЛ в 852 году "Русь" и "руськая земля" как понятия уже существовали, но Рюрика на тот момент ещё никто не призывал. Так что либо речь о каком-то доселе неизвестном нам германском племени, что ну очень маловероятно, либо версия о "германском" происхождении "Руси" просто несостоятельна и противоречит источникам.
Как-то так🤷🏼♂️

Harald was a friend of Prince Vladimir Yaroslavich(according to one version, Vladimir's mother could be the Swedish Princess Ingigerda) and was married to his sister Elizabeth. The daughter of the English King Harold was married to the Grand Duke Vladimir Monomakh. These were the ties that existed in Europe at that time.

@@agri9971 Not always. There were a multitude of times when the Brits and Russians fought against each other, either diplomatically or on the field of battle. This was mostly because the British worry that the Russians would counter their own Colonial ambitions or would grow to powerful.

This song is like drugs to me, I started shaking and almost cried. Greetings from Bulgaria!
I looped this for 3 days already and its still on loop
Cuz its epic
It is also thought that if the English King Harold Godwinson had not had to fight the Vikings on September 25th 1066, that he would have probably prevailed against William the Conqueror and won the Battle of Hastings on October 14th 1066, thus preventing the Normans from taking over England. How different the English language would be today!
Imagine how diffrent England would be today
@@americanman3054 Right. The whole history of the world would have been different!
Actually, here’s what I think would happen. History would unravel exactly what it had been doing for the past 60 years.
The North Sea Empire would be reestablished, the English nobility surrendering to Harald.
Eventually, King Harald would die, as he was very old and his invasion of England was more for glory than anything. His claim would be passed down to one of his sons, if not both. Then there would be some war to restore some anglo saxon king bla bla bla.
Remember Normandy? Well, William is going to have to build up his army again. Any defeat from the Anglo Saxons wouldn’t be incredibly decisive if it was achieved - the norman army was much better equiped and diversly comprised of horsemen, archers, etc. In the midst of the chaos with England and Norway, they’d give it another shot and press William’s claim.
Basically, the pre-1066 ante bellum is restored for a short while until they go again for part 2. The exhausted Norwegians couldn’t hold on to England for much longer at this point. The North Sea Empire was able to hold on to England for so long because the English people were just tired of war and chaos and the Danish king was seen as a stabilizing factor. That is where the Norwegians would not succeed in. Not to mention the likelihood of a Swedish invasion or Danish invasion to restore hegemony over the weak state back in Scandinavia. As cool as a continued Second Viking Age would be or maybe even a third, European politics meant that the vikings were long dead.
1066: the vikings fall
Harald Foss: I'm about to drop the hardest shit of all time
I think he wanted to capture great loss of his country with music
i feel grateful, thank you
Very Nice song, amazing work! Keep these songs up!

Moment of silence for the man who paid the ultimate price for play of the game. This is why men must teach their sons not to hit below belt. Or the bridge, for that matter
Bellow the belt striking is justified when your life or a loved ones life is threatened
@@danielreardon6453 sure, that’s exactly what happened
@@danielreardon6453 they were an army vs 1 guy since when he was threatening their loved ones lol
@@erwannthietart3602 wdym since when was he threatening loved ones? He was part of the entire Norwegian army who were invading and trespassing in English territory where English families lived.

Its pretty cool that there was a battle in a football stadium and someone wrote a beautiful song about it as well.
Tf? The song is about the battle of Stamford Bridge (1066 AD)
@@unfathomablyunfathomable Didn't knew the stadium was that old. And people say Chelsea had no history before Roman took over
@@sadafhusain2059 There was no battle in any football stadium. They are talking about a bridge. There was a battle in England on a bridge. What did football stadium come from?
@@unfathomablyunfathomableI think that you're missing the sarcasm bait here. He is joking about a Football Club's stadium named the Stamford Bridge, in London England. Chelsea Football Club
@@GrzegorzBraunYTOfficial Didn't seem like a joke, but just some random person on the internet not understanding something (which is the case 99.9% of the time). Plus I'm not from the UK, so I don't know about a random stadium (or perhaps it's well known what do I know) but ok
The song is going to be listening in 2022!Happy New Year, guys!!
My favorite song from "back in the day"
Great song! Harald Hardråde was one of the toughest guys around.
This song will always bring tears to my eyes 👀
All hail HARALD HARDRADA . The bro who has a mount and blade and assassin's Creed valhalla campaign life story.

My favorite one of all old traditional music

I opened this video and my family's main sigil appears - the Raven. I mean I know we are descended from Swedish Vikings but it's still amazing seeing how connected we are to history.
Out of all the old norse music, this seems the most calmest and chillest song
this is not old norse mate
@@hades9025 well it is a very calm song about a brutal and violent battle that led to the end of an age
If you like this, you should give “Eirik Jarl” a listen.
Thanks for that. I enjoyed that song too.
already have, listen to olafur liljuros, better. eiril jarl is good too, every viking song is good
Das Lied ist einfach zu krass. ich kann nicht aufhören das zu hören
Really gives of that "AND THEN SHIT STARTED GOING SOUTH" vibe when the beat picks up
Greetings from Normandie !
FUCK OFF
@@Whayleejay 😂
well william had a good plan
fuck off
William the conqueror is the descendant of Rollo, a Danish Viking chief, so tbh the Saxons lost to a French Viking.

Go back to raiding in that little game of yours son, the grown ups are listening to your dad. Now shut up. Now shut up. Now shut up. Now shut up.
Makes me very sad
F for the berserker
Why is that
@@torqara1879 immigration
Ragnar I think it‘s more of the native Europeans that are afraid of Terrorism and what immigration can bring into country that might be malicious. I think people try to be as least as racist as they can be, but it‘s just the fear part of it. The only reason there is racism is because people are fearful.

I don't know why but this song make me to feel if I had lived befor. My heart is so touched.
Valtjof and Muru-Kare are Norse versions of the names Edwin and Morcar, the earls of Mercia and Northumbria. Despite what the lyrics might lead you to believe, both earls survived the battle and lived on to lead a short-lived rebellion against William I in 1068.
i can see Muru-Kare --> Morcar but how do you get Edwin from Valtjof
@@ombricshalazar3869 Could be that he also was known by the Anglo-Saxon name Waltheof, or that mr Washington is getting his earls mixed up.
