He killed about 40 English warriors before he was killed. In the fierce fighting that followed, both Harald Hardrada and Tostig were killed, along with most of the Viking host. Harald's death in battle is considered to have marked the end of the Viking Age in Europe. The English had experienced a swift and decisive victory at Stamford Bridge, but just three days later news reached King Harold that William of Normandy was commencing his invasion to take the throne. 📢 Narrated by David McCallion 🎼 Music: Epidemic Sounds Filmstro 📚 Sources: McLynn, Frank, 1066: the Year of the Three Battles (ISBN: 0-7126-6672-9).
