Best Answer

The Saxon Army under King Harold Godwinson had marched 180 miles in 4 days. Stamford Bridge is near York so 180 miles South of York is where they had started their forced march from.... they then turned around and went all the way to the South coast to fight William the Conqueror at Hastings...........
