In questo giorno del 1066, la battaglia di Stamford Bridge: il re Harold II d’Inghilterra sconfigge Harald Hardrada, il re invasore di Norvegia.

The Battle of Stamford Bridge (Old English: *Gefeoht æt Stanfordbrycge*) took place at the village of Stamford Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire, in England, on 25 September 1066, between an English army under King Harold Godwinson and an invading Norwegian force led by King Harald Hardrada and the English king’s brother Tostig Godwinson.

After a bloody battle, both Hardrada and Tostig, along with most of the Norwegians, were killed.

Were it not totally overshadowed by a more famous confrontation that took place at Hastings three weeks later, the Battle of Stamford Bridge would be remembered as the last time the Vikings attempted to conquer England.
