In 1066, Harald Hardrada, king of Norway, in alliance with Tostig, Harold II's brother, invaded with 300 ships, sailing up the Ouse just south of York. This book investigates the events that forced King Harold II of England to divide his army in order to defend his new kingdom from the invasions he expected in the north and the south.
