      Medieval Commentator: And the Norse are fighting brutally, and AH! Sorry, that was a narrow shave with an arrow, ladies and gents. Anyway, the Norse guy is on the bridge. He is fighting brutally. Look at that axe swing. *suck in of air* You fought well brave Saxon. But wait! There's a guy coming from under! He's going, going! Surely not, no! OH MA GOODNESS! AND HE HAS STABBED THE NORSE GUY FROM UNDER THE BRIDGE! 1-0 to the Anglo Saxons.

    In Greece we are only taught about Hardrada as a famous member of the Byzantine emperor's Varangian guard, who later went on to become a Norse king. Learning that he was killed in Stanford bridge is strangely like being informed that an old friend has died. Kind of wanted him to have had a better ending.

      That was tjodolf sterken (tjodolf the strong) he was a Roar means hes Main Job was to row the ship so the best fighters was less tired. They where also called giants in many songs the rowing guys, anyways the history of This war aint was not really a war between france and England, it was between four Norwegian clans, charlemagnes actual name when he left norway was karl Magne (free and strong man, is hes Norwegian name translated to english) hes from same ætt as gang Rolf whos hirdsmenn occupied Normandie, (Norman /Normann) is Norwegian for Norwegian) (dialects). And they wanted to tale the power from sverre ætta etc so it was a family feud that instigated the battle..England was already under dane law, and the Norwegians had already established jorvik (York)and Dublin and several other strongholds, so the intention wasnt to go to war with the british People but the danish saxons who saw themselves as a legit autority because they had installed a danish king and he was able to unite nortumbria Essex etc against the Norwegians, that was compllicated because the bagler clan contained both danes and Norwegians, which made four Norwegian gruops figth each other all over and they tried to kill all our kings, last attempt on kong sverre the third when he was Just four months old, 140 years after the battle at stamford bridge. That feud started about hundred years before that battle and ended when the danes gathered the chatolics of the world for the third time to make another genocide, but it was so much loss of lives that the chatolics thougth god was publishing them and a truce was made which later became a peace agreement which developed a few hundred years then we married the danes and was one country, but without the english /anglos William would lose to tjodolf alone. He was standing for more than 45 minutes alone, on the middle while People attacked him from both sides. At last he was shot from under the bridge between the boards by little saxon Child with a crossbow. So in a way a little kid won that battle. I Wonder if they now eats together and figth each other in valhall. In the song the Norwegians came shirtless while the english kings men had armors,i think thats maybe why tjodolf could figth so many for so Long, because Hes enemys was slow and heavy. While tjodolf even he was a Roar he was also trained in glima, would be cool if some alien tech had recorded it so we could see the moves and tactic he used. And it would be good for the sport of glima, sadly only norway and iceland has glima, but its now become very different styles,

Maybe he was stabbed to, but according to our songs and sagas its not mentioned. We still signing about how tjodolf was defying physics Steel/Iron fire etc didnt Hurt him but a crossbow bolt killed him so i guess he wasnt immune to wood and rocks

    for clarification this is not a song from 1066, it's just a song a guy in modern Norway made about the fight
    Edit: lamo never though this would get so much attention, but yeah this is not historically accurate, none of the modern "Viking music" genre is historically acurate. Sadly we no next to nothing about "Viking music". It's all good fun though and nothing wrong with it (Makes great workout tracks), but lets just make sure we have facts straight so we don't confuse younger people.

      @@danielk3919 at the time there was a slight difference and that comes with their specific styles of "viking" (referring to a water farer, or a man that makes his money at sea). swedish vikings tended to be traders in the baltic and often along rivers like the danube and the volga. some danish vikings traded but most raided the coast of western europe and were the most active in the practice of establishing danelaws and overseas kingdoms. the norwegian vikings were more commonly seen expeditioning out the far off lands (expeditioning referring to a voyage being sent out and not being expected to return for maybe several decades), evidence of that is how the northwest coast of scotland and eastern coast of ireland were raided and frequently settled by norwegians but these vikings rarely went inland like the danes so frequently did. their cultural and linguistic diffferences were extremely small but the differences in how their respective seafarers went about making their money were vast. its silly to differentiate when talking about scandinavia itself but talking about their impact on the rest of europe is where it really does matter.

    My take on a translation (The number of syllables should match so it could be sung in English):
    Harken now, Harald Sigurdsson,
    the dreams of brother Olav
    The lust for power you now must quench,
    Ill shall be your fortune
    Harken not to Tostig Earl,
    whilst he strives for England's conquest,
    Tord he had the strangest of dreams,
    and ill were the omens many
    The spring in the year thousand and sixty-six an army was preparing,
    Powerhungry king reigned Norway
    and anger clouded the lands,
    One hundred and ninety five longships,
    to the Orkney-islands sailing west,
    From Torfinn sons he did request
    one hundred extra longships.
    Arriving now at York fortress, the walls and ground shaking.
    The Earl Muru-Kåre fell, and Valtjov Earl took flight.
    Harald and Tostig charged and roared,
    and Valtjov Earl he gave his word,
    the Riding Men of England's king
    shall await at Stanford bridge.
    Next day without their iron shirts, Harald and Tostig are roaming,
    when far away the sunlight gleamed in helms and mails of plenty.
    "The English King he is on our way,
    The Thingmannalid banners how they sway!",
    Bewildered are the Norsemen now,
    They stand at Stanford Bridge
    The Norsemen formed a line of men, courageous and with no fear,
    Styrkår rode to the ships ashore as swift as the horse could bear.
    But in order to stall the vicsious fight,
    Tjodolv by himself took stance,
    for he must hold the king's advance
    alone on Stanford Bridge
    Now Tjodolv, strong, he fought for long
    the Anglosaxan King,
    but from beneath a spear they threw,
    and Tjodolv was overcome.
    The second battle raging on,
    and Øystein and Styrkår and all their men,
    from their ships they ran to make it there
    in time to the Stanford Bridge.
    Harald took his place up front
    and hew to left and right,
    graygoose feathers on a shaft,
    Harald's bane, he fell.
    Øystein and Styrkår joined the fray,
    with mail and armor to no avail,
    from toil and wear they were to late
    to fight for Stanford Bridge
    The third battle did commence, 'twas called Orreira
    there were many slain, both Sax and Norse
    But Norsemen had to fly
    And so it was that it came to be,
    Wilhelm's men of France triumphed,
    and Danish Law it was no more,
    out there by the Stanford Bridge.

    We were told that King Harold of England allowed the Norwegians to take the body of their King back home (not to mention allowing them to live), and for this courtesy Harold was spoken of with honour in Norwegian folklore. William the Bastard did not treat King Harold with the same respect - his leg was hacked off, he was castrated and beheaded. Cursed with lack of leadership the English continued to resist for 20 years. And despite the efforts of the French speaking Normans we still retain many Saxon and Norse words within our vocabulary - not least 1066 (oh, the irony).

      Love this. Not a lot of credit is given to the Saxons who ran the four days from Kent to York to right at Stamford bridge..then having word about Williams landing, they then run back to fight another battle which (some sources say) lasted over 11 hours in total. It's also recorded that some of the Norsemen accepted Harold's offer to join his fight in exchange for payment/land. Those guys had already fought twice..and had a mad dash for their ships to help Harald.
      I've ran 14k in correct maille, which arms, and it was horrible 😂 good experiment but no way would I have been able to fight properly at the end. There wasn't much difference between the fighting skill, ethos and idea of courage between the Saxons and Norse, Danes etc really just cousins. I'm lucky to live in a part of the country where my ancestors would have during this time, fascinating history really is remarkable.

    Harald was a friend of Prince Vladimir Yaroslavich(according to one version, Vladimir's mother could be the Swedish Princess Ingigerda) and was married to his sister Elizabeth. The daughter of the English King Harold was married to the Grand Duke Vladimir Monomakh. These were the ties that existed in Europe at that time.

    It is also thought that if the English King Harold Godwinson had not had to fight the Vikings on September 25th 1066, that he would have probably prevailed against William the Conqueror and won the Battle of Hastings on October 14th 1066, thus preventing the Normans from taking over England.

      Actually, here’s what I think would happen. History would unravel exactly what it had been doing for the past 60 years.
      The North Sea Empire would be reestablished, the English nobility surrendering to Harald.
      Eventually, King Harald would die, as he was very old and his invasion of England was more for glory than anything. His claim would be passed down to one of his sons, if not both. Then there would be some war to restore some anglo saxon king bla bla bla.
      Remember Normandy? Well, William is going to have to build up his army again. Any defeat from the Anglo Saxons wouldn’t be incredibly decisive if it was achieved - the norman army was much better equiped and diversly comprised of horsemen, archers, etc. In the midst of the chaos with England and Norway, they’d give it another shot and press William’s claim.
      Basically, the pre-1066 ante bellum is restored for a short while until they go again for part 2. The exhausted Norwegians couldn’t hold on to England for much longer at this point. The North Sea Empire was able to hold on to England for so long because the English people were just tired of war and chaos and the Danish king was seen as a stabilizing factor. That is where the Norwegians would not succeed in. Not to mention the likelihood of a Swedish invasion or Danish invasion to restore hegemony over the weak state back in Scandinavia. As cool as a continued Second Viking Age would be or maybe even a third, European politics meant that the vikings were long dead.
