What If Harald Hardrada Won in 1066?

At the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, Harald Hardrada was warned, and the Norman Conquest died before it ever began. What if the Last Viking King had crushed King Harold Godwinson, trapped William the Conqueror, and claimed the English crown? In this alternate history documentary, we explore the rise of a fractured, Anglo-Norse empire, a forgotten religious schism with Rome, and a timeline where the modern English language was strangled in the crib. #alternatehistory #1066 #haraldhardrada #vikings #medievalhistory Enjoying the journey down these alternate timelines?
