The Most Dangerous Viking King - Harald Hardrada

At 15, he fought in a battle that killed his half-brother and sent him fleeing into exile. By 51, he had commanded the elite Varangian Guard in Constantinople, amassed a fortune, seized the throne of Norway — and died leading one final invasion that would mark the end of the Viking Age. This video follows Harald Sigurdsson's incredible journey from exiled teenager to Byzantine mercenary commander to King of Norway, and his fateful bid for the English crown at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066. #HaraldHardrada #Vikings #NorseHistory #1066 #VikingAge
