The Battle of Hastings

Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex, defeated Harald Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in September 1066. Harald Hardrada had invaded the North East of England from Norway after having been convinced by Harold Godwinson's treacherous brother Tostig. Harald won a battle against loyal barons and took York but was forced to give battle to the King, where his forces were routed and he was killed by an arrow through the throat. The remnants of Harald Hardrada's thousands-strong force left in just 20 longships.

Harald III. hardhradi (1015-1066) of the Norwegian Yngling dynasty served as of 1033 in the Imperial body guard of Byzance "for sake of glory" as in northern Europe no rewarding playground was available. Well-known in his days he returned to Norway to succeed to his father on the throne in 1047. He tried to withdraw Norway from the Hamburg-Bremen bishopric as Christianisation territory. In 1066 he and his fellow Tostig set out to conquer the Danelag in England where he fell in the famous Battle of Stamford Bridge.

In September 1066 Harold II. Godwinson of England was told that Norwegian Vikings led by their King Harald III. hardhradi and Tostig had landed at the Ouse River mouth on eastern North Sea shore. This required Harold's immediate action. He collected as many young and old men that could lift a sword and wear a helmet as he could get hold of and left for the Viking camp which was located at Stamford Bridge some 80 km away from the Viking landing base where they had left behind their boats, supplies and valuable armed fellow Vikings. A strategic and decisive mistake as Harald III. hardhradi soon had to learn.

Harold II. approached the Vikings in the foggy morning dawn of September 25th, the day of the battle, an eye witness described the sight of his army: "It looked like a vast plain of cracked ice as the pale morning sun glistened on their helmets."

Harald III. claimed from Harold II. for himself the Danish Danelag as dwelling territory, Harold answered him he would get "as much ground as necessary to bury one man". After this reply they engaged in the "Battle of Stamford Bridge" lasting two days and nights. The encounter was cruel, bloody and decisive.

The Vikings were cut off their supply line in their back and defeated, thousands of them fell. The few fugitives retreated to their waiting boats to bring home the survivors and many wounded comrades. The countless dead were left behind unburied on the battlefield, covered with white bones it served as easily visible landmark close to Stamford Bridge for many decades. Harald III. hardhradi's son later came to England to collect his father's remains and bury him in Norway. 1066 marks the end of the Viking expeditions that had begun with the devastative and bloody assault on Lindisfarne monastery on the Scottish east coast in 793 AD.

They liked to play a game called bear betting. They would have a ring of bear out in the ocean and put as many dogs as there were bears. Then they would bet on who would win, they bears or the dogs. Whoever was left standing after the fight, would be the winning bet.

Elijah ordered the execution of 450 prophets of Baal.

Minstrels performed songs whose lyrics told stories about distant places. Many minstrels were also storytellers, jugglers, clowns, and tumblers! Some minstrels also said poems, danced, and even swallowed fire!

there is one obvious similar thing about them and that is that they were both wars in England one other similarity is that they were fought by atleast one king.

Hope this helps

The Battle of Hastings.

Creating strong poffins in either Diamond or Pearl is ultimately a matter of patience and practice. Collect several berries that you don't care about to practice with, as you'll need to get pretty good at making them if you want to craft enough berries to craft a Milotic or other Pokemon that require a specific trait raise through berries.

Practice specifically regulating the speed at which you stir the poffin, as this will make or break your end result. The best poffins are made quickly with very few or no spills or burns - I think my personal best is a level 2 foul poffin.

Stamford Bridge

A foot soldier from 1066, particularly during the Norman Conquest of England, was an infantryman who fought on foot rather than on horseback. These soldiers were often commoners or peasants, equipped with basic weapons such as spears, swords, and shields. They played a crucial role in battles, forming the backbone of armies, and were involved in significant conflicts like the Battle of Hastings. Their effectiveness relied on discipline and numbers, as they often faced heavily armored cavalry.

The Battle of Fort Necessity took place in Farmington in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.

A scaling ladder was used to siege stone castles. They will be used to climb up the long walls of the stone castle by attackers.
