Harald Hardrada, the last great Viking king, believed that destiny still held the conquest of England for him in 1066. A veteran of wars across Europe and legendary commander of the Varangian Guard, he landed in Northern England and triumphed at Fulford Gate.
Confident, he allowed his troops to rest — until he was blindsided by King Harold Godwinson’s lightning-fast march. At Stamford Bridge, two worlds collided. Hardrada fell, struck by an arrow, his army was decimated, and with him died not just a king, but the entire Viking Age.
