One Axeman Held an Entire Army — The Untold Story of Stamford Bridge
Three weeks before Hastings, a different battle nearly decided the fate of England. When King Harald Hardrada of Norway landed with one of the largest Viking fleets ever assembled, King Harold Godwinson responded with a forced march historians still find almost unbelievable — and what happened next at a narrow wooden bridge would help write the final chapter of the Viking Age. This is the true story of Stamford Bridge: the lone defender, the fallen king, and the exhausted army that marched straight into history's most famous battle just days later. ⏰Timestamps 0:00.
