The Battle of Fulford took place at the village of Fulford, near York in England on September 20, 1066, when King Harald III of Norway Hardrada and Tostig, his English ally, fought and defeated the Northern Earls Edwin and Morcar. Tostig was Harold Godwinson's banished brother. He had allied with king Harald of Norway and possibly duke William of Normandy but history has left us no record of what role Tostig saw for himself if the invasions were successful. Tostig was opposed by Earl Morcar who had been displaced him as Earl of Northumbria.
