When Viking Leader Harald Hardrada invaded England in 1066, he quickly defeated the northern militia near York and waited for the big showdown with King Harold II who was on the south coast anticipating a Norman invasion. Not expecting the English troops for days, Hardrada and his men camped on meadows on both sides of the River Derwent at Stamford Bridge and, as it was a nice day, many removed their armour and indulged in some sunbathing. They didn't even rouse themselves when they saw approaching soldiers, presuming them to be a detachment of Vikings. By the time they realised it was the English army, it was too late. The Vikings were overwhelmed and Hardrada was killed.

∙ 13y agoThe Vikings didn't die, they are still around today as Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Icelanders, Faeroe Islanders & many others who decend from them
The Vikings as a strong group died from a shift in Europe towards more feudal means and the localization of armies. But as the person above me stated, they are far from dead.
