📌If you like my work you can support me at PATREON: www.patreon.com/HistoryBattles3D Each video is HAND made by a SINGLE creator (me) 1)This means that I create most of the models-textures 2) I create the battlefields and all of the maps 3) I made the animated system for the battles (Τhis is an ongoing process since I'm constantly trying to improve it) 4) And in this video I also made the Voice Over That's why it takes two months or more for each video to be made, which is very time consuming and a huge gamble. Liking-Commenting and Subscribing to the channel will help me continue to work on these videos and even improve them. I will eventually be able to create gunpowder battles, incorporate more animations, motion capture etc. But it ALL depends on your help and support. Thank you very much guys.

Interestingly, the age of the Anglo-Saxons ended at hastings shortly after this battle. The normans brought bow and arrows and men mounted on horses which the Anglo-Saxons didn't have. The resulting french spoken rule moves us closer to the English we speak today. That and the west side eof france, through marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, not long after. That gives us one of Frances greatest kings, Richard the lionheart. Both parents were French. He spoke French and he is buried in France. .

The lone Viking warrior holding the bridge was an enormous Berserker. Harald had used him several times before. In this case, the bridge was narrow and only 2 or 3 Saxons could face him even though the line of soldiers attacking him was long. He killed a minimum of 40 men and possibly as many as 98. He was only killed, when Saxons took to a boat, floated to underneath the bridge and used an extra long spear to thrust up between the planks of the bridge to spear him in the back. Seems like an unfair means to me, but in war, people do what is efficacious, in this case, a cowardly backstabbing. He deserved better after standing alone against and stopping tens of thousands of Saxons.

The saxon ffyrd also used long handled axes, And it was reported that they could "cleve" a man in two. To do a forced March north, at speed, fight a bloody battle, then, do a forced March south, at speed, to fight again within just a few days is testament to the saxons will to remain saxon. It was a calculated gamble, that so very nearly paid off, the Norman's at semlac hill Panicked and fled, the saxons poured down the hill from their positions, but we're cut down by Norman cavalry. Seeing this William ordered several similar attacks, and each time the saxons fell for it. At Stamford bridge a lucky arrow caused the vikings to crumble, At Hastings, a lucky arrow caused the saxons to crumble. Williams win, pushed Britain away from ancient serfdom, Adopting a more Latin based romanesque set of laws. Probably a good thing. Beserk is a bloodlust that manifested itself in men in battle, the lone berserker, the giant, Did not enter this bloodlust, rather he knew his position protected him, and the saxons could only attack one at a time, That shows an extreme level of discipline.

This is a battle we studied in tactics class in the Army, Harrold made two horrible mistakes. One had no scouts out and allowed his enemy to come upon him unaware. Second at that time Stanford bridge was wide enough for a single wagon to pass on, why would you ever allow your enemy to put his entire army across without attacking. A smart man would have waited until he has about a third of his force across then attacked pushing them back into the river and clogging the bridge.

That's probably true. It will also explain extremely fast pace of marching from London to York.

I believe the Norse accounts of 'Anglo Saxon' cavalry(Norman knights brought to England by Edward previously) more than modern historians that discount it based on nothing or trying to claim the reports of Stamford Bridge got confused with the Battle Hastings. How the few norse that did make it back knew anything about the battle of hastings I have never heard them satisfactorily explain.

What game

Awesome . My ancestors were awarded lands in Yorkshire after the next battle from William . Poor old Godwinson , talk about bad luck and timing .

It’s actually a huge military blunder for the Vikings. They were relaxing essentially on campaign with no picket/scouts. Most were hung over and many were bathing. A large portion of the men were nearby on ships likely drunk… The army was split on each side of the river. If that was not bad enough they saw the army approaching but due to the glint of the sun they assumed it was another Viking army since one was near. They didn’t think Englishmen were even remotely close…When they realized it was not it was almost too late to properly dress in time to be battle ready. The one bezerker on the bridge is either an embellishment or a minor event during the slaughter that happened that day.

There were 4 battles in 1066 in England. The English lost one battle won one. Norway won one battle, lost one. The French won one.

Tosti and Harald hardrada met at Tynemouth and the joint fleet sailed to the Humber

That might have been the end of Vikings in England. It didn’t end in Scotland until the Battle of Largs in 1266, exactly 200years later. Up until then all the Hebridean Islands, ie the Western Islands, were ruled by the King of Norway. Later, under a betrothal of the Princess of Norway to the Crown Prince of Scotland the islands of Orkney and Shetland were given to Scotland as a dowry of the King of Norway. Sadly, the Princess was lost in a shipwreck on these islands on her way to her wedding. She was known as The Maid of Norway. If the wedding had taken place Scotland would have united with Norway, not England. There are many place names in the Hebrides. For example, Island of Skye is Norse for island of clouds. Glen Forsa on Mull is Norse for glen of waterfalls. I am Scot, so I thought, but my dna says I am 50% scandinavian, ie viking. Personally, I discovered a spiritual love for everything Norwegian. That must be the reason.

Hahaha i was playing the first the dirst medieval total war many years ago and i had 3 vikings guarding a bridge and their actuons were so heroic i still remember it to this day

I don't know what all that nonsense about Harald Hardrada was all about. Harald Hardrada was a very experienced viking leader. Harald arrived at Constantinople when he was 19. He fought as a mercenary for the byzantines for eight years. He became the commander of the vangarian guard. He was known for his cunning and ruthlessness. The byzantines taught the fearless viking about tactics and strategy that he masterfully put into use. When he fought at Stamford Bridge he did it as a level headed battlehardened and very experience leader. He skilfully and masterfully organised the vikings until he was hit by an arrow to the neck.

If anyone's interested for assistance in the top historical expertise available on the Art of War and especially from a PhD in Medieval history specialized in tactics I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series. He can help a lot with the actual battle mechanics as he works exactly on that for a living

@historybattles3D

That's an interesting observation. In fact there is a very specific reason for its width. Due to the way that my soldiers are pathfinding it was easier for me to make them cross the bridge that was not 2 meters wide. So, I had two choices, either to not show in real time the army crossing the river and use a narrow bridge, or show the army crossing in real time but widen the bridge. I chose the latter because I thought it would look better.

Otherwise I would have just cut to the army already crossed.

For those irritated by the use of Napoleons measurement system, 298 km is 185 miles.

I think you have to take the chronicler of the battle of Stamford bridge with a pinch of salt. Firstly Snorri was writing years after the event. Secondly Haralrd Hardråde was an extremely experienced army commander; the question has to be asked, " why would such an experienced commander leave the safety of Yorks walls and let his men remove armer and sun themselves on the river bank knowing full well a Saxon army must be marching against him and secondly as an experienced commander he must have had scouts out scouting for enemies. So sorrry, I don't believe this is how the battle took place.

wow.. why cant we have a video game like this ! lol

Excellent spectacle. The sheer exhausting physical exertion of medieval shield wall battle must have been unimaginable for us. I think at this period though I'd call the home side the English rather than the Anglo Saxons, Harold the English king not the Saxon king etc. That's no criticism though, this is a great film.

Bro y’all seen the little dance move hardrada did after he took the arrow to the throat but before he died😂

its crazy that they had essentially the same name and both would die in battle within days of each other supposedly from arrows to the eye and/or neck

Harald III Sigurdsson Hardrada was my 24th great-grandfather. He made a couple of bad decisions that fateful day. I often wonder what the Saxons did with all those captured ships. They should have used them too "sail" south instead of marching all that way back.

I'm surprised the Saxon archers didn't just nail the giant Norseman blocking the bridge. instead of letting him kill a reported 40 Saxons with his axe...

Well done Harold, you defeated the Danes at last. One small thing though, seems William the B*stard is about to rock up in Hastings so you and your knackered army better hot foot it down South quick sharp. Don't forget to wear your safety goggles, with all those arrows flying around someone could lose an eye!

So, King Harold beat the Vikings at Stamford Bridge. Then got news that the Normans had landed in South England. Marched down to Hastings where he met them and was defeated. Now comes the historical question. Who were the Normans? To me, they were the Vikings. They were called the North Men in France as the Vikings had taken what is now called Normandy and remained there. Yes they had armour and used the same weapons used by the French but they were still Vikings so, did the Viking era end? Or was it just transferred to another group of Vikings?

That bridge.... "Skillfully"? Wait what? That was one of the most dishonorable and cowardly kills I've ever seen! Like I don't care what side you are on - that was rattiest move ever!
