In September 1066, King Harold Godwinson marched his army an insane 185 miles in just four days to defeat Viking King Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge! But before his men could rest, Duke William of Normandy landed on the south coast, burning estates to force an immediate confrontation. Exhausted and outmaneuvered, Harold fell on October 14th at the Battle of Hastings—ending Anglo-Saxon rule forever. #1066 #BattleOfHastings #HistoryShorts #WilliamTheConqueror #KingHarold #AngloSaxons #MedievalHistory #VikingHistory
