Harald Hardråde landed at Scarborough
The Norwegian king Harald Sigurdsson Hardråde wanted to seize the English throne and early in September sailed west with a fleet of about 300 ships together with his son Olav. The voyage went via Shetland and Orkney, and he landed at Scarborough on this day in 1066.
While Harald and Tostig Godwinson fought in Yorkshire, Harold Godwinson marched quickly north and surprised the Norwegians. Harald Hardråde and much of his force were killed at Stamford Bridge on 25 September 1066, often seen as the end of the Viking Age and the beginning of the Middle Ages.
