- According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle this is what happened during the battle.
“The Northmen fled from the English. Then there was one there of the Norwegians who withstood the English people, so that they might not pass over the bridge, not obtain the victory. Then an Englishman aimed at him with a javelin but availed nothing; and then came another under the bridge, and pieced him terribly inwards under the coat of mail.”

![The Last Viking - The Campaigns of Harald Hardrada [FULL DOCUMENTARY]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uYsmHdgD5V4/mqdefault.jpg)
I swear, Harald Hardrada is one of the most badass Men in all of human history. No one in warrior history deserves a show/movie made about them more than Harald. Not a hollywood movie though, because the last thing I ever want to see, is a culturally appropriated Harald
Edmund Ironside was a bad ass warrior
Harald Hardrade was black
@@blackerpanther3329 hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 I don't even know what to say lol hey the English were black to wasn't they? So we're the Greeks and the Romans the English the Jews the Scandinavians you know what's real crazy is that being that black people only take up about I don't know 2% of the world's population with white people being somewhere in the 90 percentile range what we're all these white people doing when black people were Roman Greek a Jewish English Scottish Viking Irish where were all these white people at man let the massive majority in the world
Haha man do you hear yourself man haha I mean you people are so ignorant it's so sad I mean and it's like arguing with a pigeon haha it's not even possible Cleopatra she was black 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the black queen who was Russian from a noble family married into a Greek noble family as a peace offering but she was black too!!!
the red haired blue eyed black queen!!? 🤣🤣🤣 Who's Russian!!!!! And Greek!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hahaha all man you people kill me man hahaha
@@blackerpanther3329 lol do you see what you just typed? Haha man Im speechless hahaha
If they did it like the movie, the northman, it could potentially be great, has to be done properly though as you say.
Imagine such rich history and what we know and can extrapolate isn't even scratching the surface of what truly happened and other events never recorded or lost to time.
This is why the druids never wrote anything down, while even having knowledge of the Greek alphabet
The Written word can never express the passion of spoken language
I agree Howard, I wish I could have been there!
@@historyprofiles where is the stained glass from of Alfred being blinded?
👍.
Trouble is, @@19ate4, then you die, and no-one will remember what happened, unless there is a Bardic/Skaldic tradition...
Here you are, with your amazing voice and great history of all time! Thank you Ollie, the awesome History Profiles!
Hi Elke🌼🦋🌼

Hi Nancy! 🫠🌻🫠
Thank you for watching Elke! I hope you enjoyed the video!
@@historyprofiles
You are most welcome Ollie. I always enjoy your videos! Thank you
😃👍🏻
That was excellent. Loved this historical account of the old ways, battles, loyalty, deceit….
Thank you so much for watching!
Harald Hardrada is my grand dad 33 generations removed. :D Pronouncing some of the names through the bloodline [tree] is a challenge. Learning about the history is fascinating.
We don't worship our gods we hail them there is a big difference one is pleasing the other is acknowledgement
Superb video sir! My brother did family tree thing a few years back and apparently I'm directly related to old Bill the Conqueror himself. 😁
Thank you so much! That is epic my lord
@@historyprofiles i had a ancestor that was the last to be quartered and squared in the town square during the 1650 something.
He apperently drove a hammer through a silver knickers head, it is sad you only hear about criminals often when researching Ancestry, the "ordinary" people usually only have some church records and what items they left behind.
While court documents tell so much more about a person.
So i guess if you want to be remembered in 500 years, do crime lol.
Thank you💖
Thank you for watching Nancy!

Great video!
Thank you so much! It means a lot!
Yes a true warrior and adventurer, things his seen and done in such a short time frame is amazing in itself. Great story Teller
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Best video ever
Thank you so much Chris!!!! It really means a lot!!!
I heard that story about the unknown beserker on the bridge. Didnt know the king also went beserk as well
Harald was the leader of the Varangian guard! Some were known berserkers so it isn’t a far off reach to assume he could also go berserk
an excellent grasp of all the political complexities
Thank you so much! Was hard to get my head around it at first!
I agree with much of the sentiment here; Harald Hardrada lived one of the most remarkable lives in recorded history.. rivaling that of Alexander of Macedon. However the man whom I most admire is the unnamed berserker that stood his ground on Stamford Bridge. He knew what was going to happen to the Norse army.. He stood against his fear and will live forever because of that choice.
Lot's of background details I never heard before here. Still I never stop wondering how Harald could be taken by suprise that way at Stamford Bridge. They had ravaged the English coast for quite some time, surly he must have understood Harold had heard about that and could arrive to meet them anytime. How could such an experienced warleader not think of deploying some scouts who would spot an army on it's way in time. Very strange.
Your a Star mate! I could listen to You all day! Just wished You do 15min about the first king of Portugal! Don Afonso Henriques. Thanks
Have noted that! Thank you so much for watching!
You voice is very inviting 😊👏
Wow, thank you so much!
Sorry I'm late for this one!!
How do you come to a conclusion that the Viking age finished when the Normans took over England.Although French speaking and Christian it was only 3 or 4 generations before , that they were Vikings ,descendants of Rollo, a Viking from the North,(Northmen,or Normans) who conquered Normandy and then England.Face it English,your royal family is directly descended from Vikings .
Although the Normans were descended from Rollo and his Viking warriors, by 1066 they were all French speaking, Christian and their Viking culture had all but been wiped from them the only Viking that remained in them was their blood. It's classed as the end of the Viking age due to Harald being the last major Viking threat to England
@@historyprofiles I'd like to know more about Normans. How long they ruled England. Great video.
The Normans had actually intermarried with English people and became English themselves.
Besides, they were not actually Vikings in 1066, but Normans because they literally did exactly the same thing there as they had in England; Integrate. So the Vikings never conquered England in the end, but they were defeated by the English at Stamford Bridge.
As for the ancestry of the royal family, it can actually be traced as far back as the house of Wessex. So they’re descended from Anglo-Saxons…
So many died in weddings back then.
A lot!!
Engalnd got screwed Harold and William both attacked at the same time. Or they win both, Normandy still barely won. Which is crazy after all that marching and so many dead and weak men.
I know! That was one of the craziest years England ever saw!
Damn it Harold 😔
Imagine if the Norman's attacked first or if the Norwegians would have been ready. Shitty way for it to go down.
They were going woke with monotheism as it was the cultural revolution of the day overturning “traditional values” NOT spreading a new faith. They were overturning not just the faith of Scandinavia, but the whole culture and any leaders who wouldn’t capitulate.
I wouldn’t go as far to say a cultural revolution, since Jesus and Odin are very similar
Unlike Islam where they have holy jihad, christianity adopted lots of pagans ideas. Shit we even in 2023 say Thorsday and Wotanday while not even batting an eye to where the names of the week comes from
@19ate4 Jesus reminds me more of Baldur, he was the peaceful and friendly one. The rest of the pantheon was rather brutish. Odin wouldn't turn the other cheek..
An army isn’t ready for a Berzerker!!!!
Stamford Bridge
Wow. These people, this family. Terribly f'd up. Nothing furthers.
*the battle at Stamford Bridge*
Emma was out here thottin around
21:06 Henry III not VIII tsk!!!
Once the vikings became christian they actually had a chance to co exist with England. Was different from the Alfred the great days.
And once they turn Christian, they became the greatest fighting crusaders the world ever seen
Not since the Roman Empire, did all of Europe was under 1 religion and untied for a purpose.
Even now in 2023 Europe is not untied under a single religion Institution or even purpose in defending the homeland.
The so called “dark ages” started in Europe when the Middle East was at its golden age of islam
Same as the Anglo saxons I suppose when they first came to Britain as they were also pagan and worshiped the same god's as the Vikings
Wrong battle! This was the real end of the very last viking society in Europe: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valjala_Stronghold
But it’s universally accepted by historians that it was Stamford Bridge that marked the permanent end to the Viking Age.
By western aka anglo-american historians, who leave the eastern vikings always out or keep them as sidenote.
And yes, before that silly monastery there was Salme battle and burial also in Saaremaa.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salme_ships about Salme.
@@Citypunk But it was the Anglo-Saxons who ultimately defeated the Vikings since they never recovered from the defeat inflicted on them. They stopped raiding anywhere, not just Western Europe.
I recommend reading Livonian Henry's chronicle, oselians were true pain in ass in Baltic sea back in late 12th early 13th century, they even kicked Danish king's men out of Oselia twice and ended Sweden's attempt to take its share in Estonian crusades by kicking them out of Lihula.
