It is too bad that King Harald's army had to travel so far, fight/win a battle, then race back south to fight William. William got lucky, for he barely won England. To hell with the Normans!! England forever!!
Caught off-guard, without any armor greater than furs, and missing a great portion of their army, Harald Hardrada had the opton to flee to the ships, re-equip themselves, and then meet the Saxons. But, Harald didn't want to wait for a real battle, so he sent his warriors back to the chokehold of stamford bridge.
@JarnsidaViking Dude, people get it, Swedish vikings did stuff too. I wish you Swedes would just stop obsessing over the Vikings and focus on the time when you were a superpower.. geez -.-'. I mean, you might as well be an American bragging about how you were a colony.
This is total bullcrap!This was the english having luck on their side.Had the vikings(Mainly norwegians some danish) had better wind over to england some days early'r the attack on hastings would have been so devestating that Godwin could not have defended them selfs agains the vikings at stanford bridge. and Obama would speak Norwegian today.
We discoverd America and the indis.
christianity and luck stopped us:( to freaking bad.We were good at killing!Norway is now boring and crap at killing
just one remark; most norse warriors would have SOMETHING of armor, leather coats or something, no "good" warrior, no "champion" would fight without decent armor; especially a kings champion, he'd wear a rich coat of mail to be sure, complete with iron/steel helmet
the english army consisted, even then, mostly of a Fyrd which were the levied masses, so they probably didn't own much armor, but the norse who came to england were warriors, the peasants stayed in scandinavia
@Baseballschaap "the Norwegians had left their mail coats at the ships and thus had to fight with only shield, spear and helmets." Norwegians were not prepered, it was yust 2 days after the battle of Fulford Norwegian army were taken by suprise, unarmored and separated from the rest of the army down with the ships.
Was Harald first known mistake and his last. He could have fleed and regrouped. However in the sagas tells he said, i wil not flee. Send for the army at the ships and bring armor!
This is some ridiculous english propaganda. Vikings as little kids that pee their pants? Danish history books say something completely different. This documentary also seems to have left out how a single man held the bridge against 40 english soldiers all by himself.
@apocca Actually it does not. You should see the full documentary before saying its wrong :) The battle of stamford part 2 shows u the single man that held the bridge.
@apocca Propsganda or not the fact remains that Harold defeated the vikings at stamford even if it only was two-thirds of their army. And then walked all the way back to battle to fight against William.
@apocca This documentary isnt accurate is mainly pro english even so is good documentary the scenes characters are well made at least and Vikings arent that bad reprsented their Norman cousins are far worse represent as Demon like
@apocca During great battles it is common for men to fear end even to piss their pant. literally Such accounts you will find for many batles: battle of Mantineia, baltle of the nations, D-Day. I bet that i would react like this if i had to thrust my sword against a man and see him bleed to death. Theese were no easy times for no one and there is no shame at all, we are not animals we have fillings and yet many times we have to defy them. (I am sorry for my English, it is not my mother-language)
Much wrong displeyed in this battle, there were heavy fighting bbefore the battle at the bridge including saxon cavalry and the vikings had no armors as the armor were left done with the ships with 1/3 of the viking army 15 miles away.
And the saxons who pierced the viking from beneth did it from a boat, here the river is dry.
History shuld not be changed, atleast they kneew who won and showed the fact that the vikings fought nerly to the last man instead of fleeing as written in the sagas.
Although I'm from Asia, after considerable research, many cultures celebrate the heroics of the fallen, the generals involved in the struggle between factions.
Ultimately, it is the courageous, the tactically brilliant and the cunning that get the accolades. Here I find, Harold II to be an immense leader with the drive to meet Europe's most dreaded monarch Harald by force marching an army of conscripts against blood thirsty warmongerers. The strength of the English infantry is witnessed.
Although generally accurate this programme misses out mentioning Tostig, Harold Godwins brother, who had aligned himself with Harold Hadraada. Harold (G) offered to give Tostig back the Earldom of Northumbria. When Hardraada asks, at 4 minutes 40 "What can you give the King of Norway for his trouble?" The answer was" 6 feet of English soil, or maybe 7 as he stands taller than most men."
Are you really that dense that you would compare a Viking invasion in 1066 to the legal immigration of Muslims into this country?! 1006 five hundred after the English were immigrants to this country.

砍擊除了砍中要害'包刮血管.內臟.腦部.頸動脈.心肺 他那高劈如果沒砍中要害,也砍不死人 對方的人停不下來 砍斷脖子是可行的方式 砍到臉頰或是脖子沒砍斷是會受傷而已不至於昏倒 電影拍攝人員都是用幻想去拍攝電影 電影都是幻想的 紀錄片有包含部分真實內容
