What did William of Normandy do to prevent the invasion of the vikings?

∙ 13y ago
William of Normandy did not fight the vikings at Hastings in 1066. He fought and defeated the newly crowned King Harold, who was Harold Godwinson, the brother-in-law of the previous king and was therefore not of royal blood.
The vikings were actually defeated earlier at York by King Harold and his army.
