What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Battle of Stamford Bridge 1066 as a registered battlefield. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
King Harold II of England defeated an invading Norwegian force led by King Harald Hardrada on 25 September 1066. The victory halted Norse expansion into England but left Harold's army weakened before the subsequent Norman conquest at Hastings.
