It was the last great Viking battle.
Against the last
And greatest Viking invader.
After so many men hacked down in their prime in almost every corner of Britain,
So many feasts for crows, kingdoms toppled and forged, reputations won and lost.
Here on this sphere.
The Viking Age in England at least.
Came to a pretty sudden
And decisive end.
It was a stunning victory.
It should rank as one of the greatest ever won by a king of England.
It alone would be enough to cement any other king's legacy.
In September ten sixty six, an English royal army led by a bold and skilful king smashed an invading Viking force, led by the greatest warrior of the age,
A force which had seized York, the most important city of the north, and seemed poised to resurrect Scandinavian rule over England.
It was the Battle of Stamford Bridge.
And it would be remembered as one of
England's greatest battlefield victories.
