Considering the impact of the Battle of Stamford Bridge on Viking history, do you believe there were missed opportunities or alternative outcomes that could have changed the course of Viking influence in England?

The Vikings forgot to post scouts. If they had been warned about the approaching English, they could have prepared better.

You seem to forget, Pryttynn was neither Viking, nor Anglo-Saxon mongrels. We are the legitimate occupants/inheritors of these islands.

The invention of the artifact, by the Vikings, is not even included in the Viking History Degree Course at either Oxford or Cambridge Universities. It is much too much of me to expect a person, who concentrates on the ephemeral antics of the 3rd most violent society in world history, to know about this life-changing, life-saving accomplishment.

I went to York, Fulford, and Stamford Bridge at the weekend. The Jorvik Centre is a great place to visit for families and students.

...and let's not forget the indirect impact of Stanford Bridge in the outcome of Hastings...

If you visit the battlefield at Stamford Bridge, you'll see a memorial stone on a grass verge in an upmarket modern housing estate. That's all you can find to mark the site: no visitor centre or museum. The village of Stamford Bridge is very pleasant. There are good places to eat. We took a bus from York, it was 30 minutes and only a couple of £GBP. We went to Fulford to look for any memorial for the battle, but found nothing. There's an old church but it is now a private residence. If you want to see Vikings, visit York. In the south, Harold fought William of Normandy. We went to Battle and Hastings 2 weeks ago. Hastings is great to visit. There's a beautiful ruined abbey in Battle. It's part of Heritage Trust. You can get an annual membership for all Heritage sites. Carers for disabled adults and children go free. You'll find a great museum and cafe at Battle Abbey.

Aren’t we forgetting the Viking who hold the bridge alone and met his end only by getting speared from beneath?

This is King Harald Hardrada, a mighty Viking warrior, supposedly defending the bridge and being struck by a spear from below. While it has become folklore, it's improbable that such an event actually occurred. We will include this in our next video about myths and facts from the Viking Age.

OK, expert on the Vikings. I expect that, like most of the others who lack a structured study of the Viking, you cannot name the ENDURING LEGACY of the Viking.

Hi Demun1649, everything OK? The enduring legacy of the Vikings includes their influence on language, exploration, and even governance systems. They shaped cultural identities, left their mark on place names, and contributed to maritime technology and trade routes. Additionally, their sagas and myths continue to captivate imaginations worldwide.

Okay, mister I-am-better-than-you, so you think beer is more important than language?

@@tirsabril5494 Facile and lightweight. Just admit you don't know. You are a fake. The chances are, if you live in a temperate zone, you will have one of the inventions. And the Vikings did not invent beer.
