History
Harald Hardrada was a Viking king who fought with William the Conqueror to invade Saxon England. His fighting at the Battle of Stamford Bridge cost him his life, as his undisciplined warriors had no ranks and were slaughtered. However, this says nothing for him as a warrior himself. He was a fierce warrior, and his distracting Saxon Prince Harold at the battle let William the Conqueror arrive and beat the batttle-weary Harold (Not Harald, mind you, but HAROLD) at Hastings in 1066. Hardrada's death, for most English-speaking peoples, marks the end of the Viking Age.
