They didn't much, seeing as they won. However, they did take more casualties than they would have liked which contributed to the eventual defeat of Harold's army at Hastings
Harold Hardraada didn't fight in the battle of Hastings Harold Godwinson did.
Not really. After he was crowned king Harrald Hardrada (a Viking competitor for the throne) invaded England but Harold Godwinson's army fought them off. While Harold's army was in the north William invaded the south. Harold's army marched south and fought the Normans near Hastings. The English were tired and not as well equipped as the Normans who won the battle, killed Harold and took over England. Harold didn't want to fight but had no choice.
The first battle in 1066 was the "Battle of Stamford Bridge", between Harold Godwinson and Harold Hardrada, a Viking invader. Harold Godwinson won the battle and then marched south with his army to meet William Duke of Normandy in the famous The second was the "Battle of Hastings". William triumphed in the battle and he was later that year, on Christmas day 1066, crowded King of England.
Harold didn't have that much good luck. Although he won a battle against Harold Hardrada which meant him and his army had some experience on what it was like in a battle so it would be easier for him to kill William of Normandy in the battle of Hastings's. Thank-you
a viking who invaded Britain in 1066 to take the throne from Harold Godwinson and become king, but Harold Godwinson and his army defeated Harold Hardrada and his army and the battle of Stamford bridge. hope this helps :)
William did'nt win because Harold Hardrada failed. He won beacuse Harold Godwinson's army marched all over the country before the battle so they were too exhausted to fight properly.
Harold Godwinson had to defeat Harold Hardrada's army of Viking invaders at the Battle of Stamford bridge before he could deal with William the Conqueror.

To be exact the first battle of 1066 was that of Fulford, fought on September 20,1066, where King Harold III Hardrada's Norse invading Army, aided by Tostig, the half brother of King Harold of England, defeated the troops of Mercia and Northumbria led by the earls Edwin and Morcar.
