Harold Hardarada sets of on his 300 boats to invade England from the NORTH. He invaded because Harold Godwinson got the throne of England when he wanted to get the throne instead.
Celebrations are cut short
Oh crap
Harold Godwinson marches north with Housecarls, they are the best of the best in the army. As he was marching he picked up fyets that are part time soldiers that are not as good as the housecarls, he and his army marched 180 miles and accumulated 15,000 men army.
Hardarada makes a mistake
It was a fliers fight between Godwinson and Hardarada’s armies one axemman from hardarada’s army took out 600 men on the bridge but one man was able to go underneath the bridge and stabbed the axeman killing him.
Hardarada dies
Aahhhh
Celebrations are cut short by William duke of Normandy invading from the south so Godwinson army has to march all the way back down England where William duke of normandy is already reaking havoc.
Sorry to crash the party
Hardarada makes a fatal flaw by leavening all his armour and resources on his boat and also his army was scattered throughout York leaving him at a disadvantage.
On the ship
Where is all the armour
In the midst, Harald Hardarada gets shot in his neck with a arrow this makes his army retreat and Godwinson has won the battle of Stanford Bridge.
