How a single Viking’s berserker rage changed world history forever
In 1066, Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, faced a challenging year. His reign was less than two years old when two separate forces approached England's shores. One of these attempts would ultimately be successful, while the other would fail.
Harold Godwinson was preparing for an invasion, but not from the direction it came. He was expecting an invasion from William the Bastard across the English Channel. Instead, 300 Viking ships were heading towards England, accompanied by his brother Tostig.
Further details about this significant event in history are available from the source, including the outcome of the Viking invasion and its impact on Harold's reign.
