The Last Viking

The forgotten story of 1066

1066, the year Duke William of Normandy became famed as a conqueror.

The Battle of Hastings is one of the great foundation stones of English history.

But another battle took place that year.

One that, though not as well remembered, was equally instrumental in sealing English fate.

It has its own heroes and champions, most of which are forgotten from your school textbook.

This is the story of Stamford Bridge, of everyday men and women and their climactic role in the end of an era.
