In this five part series, we examine the events of 1066 where Duke William sets sail from the shores of Normandy France to conquer England. This episode focuses on Harald Hardrada, the Viking King of Norway, who fought Harold Godwinson at Stamford Bridge in 1066. We examine the mythological stories at the core of the Viking identify, Harald's exile to Kiev and subsequent service to the Byzantine Empire. Finally, we look at his rise and reign as the King of Norway before Tostig Godwinson lures him across the sea to reclaim Cnut's England.
