- 950 years ago, a desperate, bloody battle changed England’s course forever.
25th September, 1066 - The Viking King Harald Hardrada’s invaders are being slaughtered at Stamford Bridge outside York. Caught unawares by the English King Harold and his army, the Norsemen fight to their last breath, as all worthy warriors must.
Battle-torn, bloody and exhausted, the ageing warrior king bursts into a simple thatched dwelling, the clamour of battle and cries of the fallen fading behind him. The great Harald Hardrada might not know it, but his mortal body even now lies hacked and bloodless on the field by the river. And yet such was the warrior’s ambition in life, such was his thirst for sword-fame and glory, that he has one more tale to tell. One final epic to share, of his journey along the warrior’s way, before his soul can move on to what lies beyond.
And Odin the spear god, lord of war and poetry, would hear it.
Feel the heat of battle, hear the song of sword on shield, catch the cunning and the courage and listen to the tale of one of the greatest warriors who ever lived. Brought to you by bestselling novelist Giles Kristian and award-winning filmmaker Philip Stevens, this short film blends beautiful balladry with breathtaking cinematic vision to educate and entertain.

Crom!! It is utterly criminal that this only has 30k views. Insanely compelling, the writing, the performance, amazing . Love your books, Giles, and this is another amazing piece of story telling! Thank you for this!
Seriously well done. As an academic studying Viking and Anglo-Saxon warfare, I am immensely impressed by the quality of this. This is what the History Channel's 'Vikings' should be.
I agree. They tried too hard to be like Games Of Thrones.
Watch Battle for Middle Earth. It's not too bad. I liked it.
Omg... I cannot believe I've only just found this! Awesome work! Love all your books, but must admit Sigurd is my favourite series...so far....May there be many more! 🍻 skal!
Ok. Kenningar, well placed. Simplicity. Very well done sir. Saga brought to life.
Phillip Stevens is actually my lecturer, and he recommended this film to me, due to my love of Norse history. Absolutely loved it!
Really awesome film, putting all of halrods life into a poem and telling it to Odin, really enjoyed that.
Wonderful.
Brilliantly done guys!!! You should be extremely proud! You have created some real storytelling magic.
Thanks, Becky! And thanks for sharing our stories and helping my sagas find new ears.
Brilliant. Great story telling. Harald surely drank at Odin's table!
Even though he was a Christian. He was the uber Viking!
A beautifully crated gem. Thank you for creating it.

A Visit With Odin.
jævlig bra
,elsker slutten. harald reiser hjem til valhall
The power of words
This was good, the viking poetry speak was nicely done, but Harald III was a Christian
Christians during that time in Scandinavia, most likely believed in the old gods and the God The Bible, but believed that the God of the Bible was more powerful than the old gods.
well told skald, may draupnir drip freely into your hands.
And may the Norns spin you a golden wyrd.
Glorious.
You master well the nuances of English. Passion shows in the last Viking. This is not an easy art form.
That was perfect in a skaldic way!
brilliant. needs to be watched in a dark room to get the full effect.
my only question is what soulless wretch voted it down!
Odin will drink from his skull.
That was fantastic!
Thanks for watching.
thanks for making it
Captivating
I must say Odin looked quietly impressed.
I think he was ;)
* gives big monologue *
“So what’s new with you bro?”
Pro trick: you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Nicolas Abraham yup, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D
Well done guys!
Thank you! Means a lot.
goosebumps at 12:45
What's the song at the end?
When I heard Stamford bridge "oh 1066"
wordsmith extarordinaire...
Very kind words, Rick. Thank you.
a bit strange that the christian Harald Hardråde(norwegian for Hardrada) should be met by Odin all-father, king of Åsgard(Asgard) and ruler of the old norse gods, and possibly brought to Odin's hall Valhall(Valhalla). Otherwhise as a norwegian i liked it.
Not really strange. Turns out he backed the wrong god.
@@gileskristian1 😁Hehe maybe, but i'm not fully convinced. Especially since he built Vår Frues Kirke(Our Lady's Church) in Trondheim, originally dedicated to Maria Magdalena.
... Skol!
Fucken glorious. Only qualm is the short hair.
Is this a clip from a movie?
No, Ken. It’s a short film by Philip Stevens based on a poem I wrote.
@@gileskristian1 Thanks, Giles.
