yes the Vikings were involved in the battle of 1066

It was Harold hardrada claiming that he was the rightful king due to an agreement between his father hardicanute and the Danish ruler of England

The agreement

Hardicanute had promised the throne to Kind Magnus of Norway and as magnus was too old to battle edward the confessor magnus's son Harold Hardrada was his heir and therefore said he was the next in line for the throne.
