Missing the ponit. harald would have fought in mail in heat before and would expect all his men to do the same. plus no invading army would not take this risk not knowing whats what. the berserka maybe the english tell the story as a lesson of brains over bruan. or like i say it did not happen. to much like pantomime. heeeees behind you. if you wanted to clear one man from that brdge no matter how big/mad half a dozen men would clear him off his feet and butcher him.

Of the three Armies of 1066, William's was the weakest. I wonder if things just went in a different order. Say William invades earlier in the year when Godwinson was ready. I think the English would have won in the south, but then struggled against Harold Hardrada in the North. I don't know if he would have taken all of England, but at least there would have been some local support for him and it would have seemed less like an occupation.

I believe that it is said that the Norse standard was cut down in the melee and Hardrada picked it up and was rallying his men to maintain morale when he was hit in the throat. If not for Hastings Godwinsons final decisive victory over the Vikings would be remembered as one of the great victories of European warfare, like Waterloo or the Battle of Britain.

Nice video! King Harald is my great grandfather ( min far far) back 20 generations. Im a direct descendant of all of the Viking kings. King Harald was an amazingly talented man and a great warrior! And most people dont know that he was a Giant at 76!
He will be featured in a new spin off show this spring via the series The Vikings.

My teacher said that in the Battle of Stamford, Harald had dropped his shield, picked up another sword and went berserk. No matter the minor differences in the many accounts about him, he truly seemed like a legendary man (though your account of him swinging his two handed sword was much cooler.

If it wasnt for the vikings at Stamford bridge we might have beat the normans at the battle of Hastings a few days after, but the army was exhausted after marching north to fight the vikings then back down to battle to fight the normans. A valiant effort though

Vikings always or mostly fought on their own terms and in situation they had the advantage but eventually the english did the same and won.
Despite being a norwegian myself, I can respect that! Always fight on your own terms and never on your enemies.

I'm trying to watch your videos, but sometimes the music is just too loud and it makes it hard to hear or understand what's being said. Maybe remove it or turn it down a bit? It's a big turn off for me personally.

Couple of points to make, the Normans could have been classified as a 'Scandanavian army' as they were originally from Denmark. Also, there were 4 kings, including Edgar who succeeded Harold for a short time.

The one thing true, with regards to evolution, is the Brain, ego mind, and Consciousness - for it clearly was primeval, truly Barbaric.
(Note: I made no mention as to all minds)

I Am sorry but your illustration of Morcar at 0: 14 is actually an original illustration of a turco Iranian warrior closer to the 13th century. It is not representative

Do you have any information on the Hohenzollern family? I find very little regarding details of their reign and the prior actions that happened before they took over.
