Welcome to our SAXON/ VIKING HISTORY FORTNIGHT !

Let's talk about the Viking whose defeat at Stamford Bridge secured the victory of William the Conqueror over Harold Godwinson. I'm talking of course, of the greatest Viking of them all - Harald Hardrada.

With us today we have Don Hollway, who has written a biography of Harald, published with Osprey and Bloomsbury.

Welcome, Don!
