This depends on which challenge you are referring to and which timeframe. In 1066, the Anglo-Saxons and Norwegians matched forces at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, and the battle traditionally symbolizes the end of the Viking Age, which was a challenge for many of their victims.
The vikings were not involved in the battle of Hastings. After the attack at Stamford bridge up north, the vikings went back home. it was only the Saxons and the Normans who were involved. The Normans were however descended from Viking invaders of France, "Nor-th-men", and the battle of Stamford Bridge certainly softened up Harold's Anglo-Saxons for Hastings.
Anglo Saxons and the Vikings at a battle in England.
The Anglo-Saxons were very warlike people. Their king would usually exemplify the traits of heroes such as Beowulf. The Anglo-Saxons were fearless to the extent that dying in battle would earn them a place amongst the Wyrd, which is their version of afterlife. The greatest honor was to die in battle.
The King of Wessex died in 899. He was about 50 years old.

The Anglo-Saxon King Harold had beaten an invading viking force at Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire. The Battle of Stamford Bridge took place at the village of Stamford Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire, in England on 25 September 1066. Then the Anglo-Saxons had to quickly march south to meet the Normans, who had landed at Pevensey Bay, East Sussex, England, 28th September 1066. The battle of Hasting took place on the 14th October 1066.
It was a battle between the Normans and the Anglo-Saxons. William the Conqueror ( Gion in French) led the Normans. Harold led the Anglo-Saxons. After all the Normans defeated the Anglo-Saxons.
Well the last leader of the Anglo-Saxons was Harold Godwinson who defeated the last proper viking invasion of England (at the battle of Stamford Bridge) only to return south and be defeated by William the Conqueror. Before him it was King Edward, then i forget the rest...
