Harold defeated Hardrada because he had the tactical advantage during the battle. Haralds forces were split with some on the west side of the river and the majority on the east side. Harold arrived from the west and quickly put those on the west side to the sword, then was momentarily held up by the bridge but because of the heat of the day the vikings were wearing very little armour and so when Harold got across the bridge his forces had little difficulty cutting down the vikings and the battle was soon over.
