The Saxons won the Battle of Stamford Bridge on September 25, 1066, largely due to their strategic surprise and superior numbers. Led by King Harold Godwinson, the Saxons caught the Viking forces, led by King Harald Hardrada, off guard as they were unprepared for battle after a long march. The Saxons utilized effective tactics and their home terrain to their advantage, ultimately overwhelming the Viking forces and securing a decisive victory. This battle marked the end of Viking invasions in England.

Why did the Normans win the Battle of Stamford Bridge?

The Normans had many advantages over the English. First of all, literally all of the Normans were on horseback whereas the English were on foot. Another reason why was that many of his best troops failed to keep up with Harold and were tired on their march to the south. Also, the Normans were well equipped with better Armour and weaponry. The main reason why the Normans were triumphant over the English was because the Normans pretended to retreat, causing the Saxons to break their shield wall and be easily killed.
