Which Norwegian king and hero died at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066? Harald Hardrada did.

Harald Hardrada, also called Harald III of Norway, invaded England in September 1066 to press his claim to the English throne. He joined forces with Tostig Godwinson, the exiled brother of England’s King Harold Godwinson, and defeated an English army at Fulford near York.

Harold Godwinson then marched north with remarkable speed and surprised the Norwegian force at Stamford Bridge on 25 September. Hardrada was killed during the battle, traditionally said to have been struck in the throat by an arrow. Tostig also died, and the Norwegian army was largely destroyed.

The battle is often treated as a symbolic end of the Viking Age in England. A common mix-up is confusing Harald Hardrada with Harold Godwinson: the former was the invading Norwegian king, while the latter was the English king who defeated him before facing William the Conqueror at Hastings.
