Interestingly, the age of the Anglo-Saxons ended at hastings shortly after this battle. The normans brought bow and arrows and men mounted on horses which the Anglo-Saxons didn't have. The resulting french spoken rule moves us closer to the English we speak today. That and the west side eof france, through marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, not long after. That gives us one of Frances greatest kings, Richard the lionheart. Both parents were French. He spoke French and he is buried in France. .
Yes,Vikings and Saxons usually used brute strength to win battles. The normans used battle tactics. And Horse warefare was something the Saxons or vikings rarley used. Which explains why the normans won.
Probably more of a slow march than a full on charge, shit wouldve been brutal af though! Smashing bones and impaling eachother on spears is metal as fuck lol.. kinda wish warfare was still like this
@@theodoresmith5272Well saying he was “France’s greatest king” implies he was king of France, which he wasn’t. Yes he was French, but so were they all for a long time after 1066. However he was a king of England, he was never “France’s greatest king”.
This is a battle we studied in tactics class in the Army, Harrold made two horrible mistakes. One had no scouts out and allowed his enemy to come upon him unaware. Second at that time Stanford bridge was wide enough for a single wagon to pass on, why would you ever allow your enemy to put his entire army across without attacking. A smart man would have waited until he has about a third of his force across then attacked pushing them back into the river and clogging the bridge.
Great works animating this! Lots of history channel use tabletop like animation to visualize a battle so its good to finally see how these battle actually unfold
Always interested in this large window of history.From the fall of the roman empire to the era of William wallace how Kings Land and power changed hands so many times intense bloodshed looting and treachery to name but a few situations.very well narrated and shows how the uk was shaped.facinating documentary thanks for posting.
It’s actually a huge military blunder for the Vikings. They were relaxing essentially on campaign with no picket/scouts. Most were hung over and many were bathing. A large portion of the men were nearby on ships likely drunk… The army was split on each side of the river. If that was not bad enough they saw the army approaching but due to the glint of the sun they assumed it was another Viking army since one was near. They didn’t think Englishmen were even remotely close…When they realized it was not it was almost too late to properly dress in time to be battle ready. The one bezerker on the bridge is either an embellishment or a minor event during the slaughter that happened that day.
It's ironic. They suffered a lightning attack out of nowhere, completely unsuspecting of it until they were swarmed by angry Saxons. Usually, this was the case whenever they carried out their own attacks.
And, it was so hot that the Vikings didnt have their armor and some of their arms. The Saxons were properly armed. So, the Vikings got the 6 feet of good English earth promised by Harold Godwinson. Harald Hardrada’s banner was a black raven on a blood red background, called Landwaster. Harald’s army arrived in 200 ships, possibly with 60-80 men per ahip. After the battle, it took only 20 ships to take the surviving Norwegians homs
The bridge probably was not that wide, or the Saxons could have overwhelmed the warrior more easily. As it was, they sent aboat under the bridge and he was speared from below
It is ironic that both kings, Harald Hardrada, and Harold Godwinson, were both killed by arrows. Harald, through the windpipe, Harold through the eye. By the way, Edward the Confessor was not a strong Saxon king
Have always been interested in this time of Englands history , when I see these vids you have up here of the medieval history I feel as if I was there in the past. “ great feeling bro” thanks.
Very intetesting content you've got there! Your animations help a lot at understanding these significant events more clearly and realistically. The algorithm and your efforts have gained you another sub my friend. Well done!
@@pendragonU Only if you swallow the propaganda of the victors (Normans). Harold was elected king by the Witanegemot, a perfectly legal Saxon way of doing so. The Wessex line was represented by the young boy, Edgar Atheling, not old enough to lead the nation against the Normans, although he fought against William after Hastings and Harold's death, notably by holding London Bridge against the Normans, forcing them to circumnavigate the capital. And swearing on holy relics under duress, as Harold was, didn't count as valid in those times. William himself, on his deathbed, confessed he had "gained the kingdom wrongfully, with the effusion of much blood", and that he had "persecuted the native people mercilessly". William the B*stard in more ways than one.
Sharing this again to my group🎉love this channel and the content its very nostalgic for me because i grew up with the history channel using the total war engine to reenact battles from history🎉
Thank you for taking the time to put it together - visualization is excellent, story telling is fairly good, and it’s very fluid. Nice job! Subscribed and looking forward to more!
Harold Godwinson and his Huscarls almost certainly rode horses to Stamford Bridge and dismounted for the battle as was the custom. The Normans had learned from continental warfare cavalry tactics which gave them the advantage at Hastings.
A few points to make, not to be nitpicky. The battle itself was most likely not at the bridge itself, while the stand made by the "lone" viking at the bridge is probably somewhat true. There was an agreement for a meetup at the bridge to exchange hostages after the previous battle that saw the Vikings conquer York. Harald Hardrada likely figured that Harold Godwinson would not be able to raise a significant army and march it north. This is why the Vikings were quite famously unarmored for the engagement at Stamford. Harold likely had mounted troops and probably pushed his forces across the bridge or another area that was passable and defeated the Vikings in more open terrain.
also the information spreading so quickly, imagine being exhausted fighting for your life and hearing about the arrow in the neck thing it must have been hella scary specially after seeing so many people dying, screaming, in pain or agony, mutilated, etc
as i said for a previous video of yours the graphic's used in your videos puts creative assembly's total war to absolute shame great video dude keep em coming
His back would have been to the sea with not even a little ground to give. No flanking maneuver could be initiated without being observed. They damn well should have brought their armor !! lol. Amazing how one little thing like that could sway the outcome of a battle but in this case a war. 😞😮💨😩😵
he should have had scouts while his men were on standby he paid the price for that wrong move usually in war knowing what your enemy is doing is critical
The saxon ffyrd also used long handled axes, And it was reported that they could "cleve" a man in two. To do a forced March north, at speed, fight a bloody battle, then, do a forced March south, at speed, to fight again within just a few days is testament to the saxons will to remain saxon. It was a calculated gamble, that so very nearly paid off, the Norman's at semlac hill Panicked and fled, the saxons poured down the hill from their positions, but we're cut down by Norman cavalry. Seeing this William ordered several similar attacks, and each time the saxons fell for it. At Stamford bridge a lucky arrow caused the vikings to crumble, At Hastings, a lucky arrow caused the saxons to crumble. Williams win, pushed Britain away from ancient serfdom, Adopting a more Latin based romanesque set of laws. Probably a good thing. Beserk is a bloodlust that manifested itself in men in battle, the lone berserker, the giant, Did not enter this bloodlust, rather he knew his position protected him, and the saxons could only attack one at a time, That shows an extreme level of discipline.
Top notch, funnily enough was near Stamford bridge the other day...just like here on the wirral, ( the great battle of Brunanburh/Bromborough 937AD ) ..York and it's environs is awash with history....Clifford's Tower in York makes me shudder given the massacre that occurred there, keep up with the great work that you do, best wishes from the wirral peninsula,bounded by the mersey and the Dee and the Irish sea...geography and rhyme....E....😊😊😊😊
Normans were Viking descendants. All the wars against France after William, for hundreds of years, involved Englishmen being used by French aristocrats to fight their relatives.
bitter they'll find there the bite of our spear points, hard-fighting northmen, too proud to die old. we'll grant him six feet, plus as much as he's taller, of land that the sons of the saxons will hold.
Thank you! No, it's not Total War. This is animation made in a completely different engine. I made most of the models and almost all of the textures. I made the maps and the battlefield and also the system for animated battles.

What a pity King Harold couldn't have persuaded the surviving Norsemen to join him (both cultures had a lot in common) and then face the Normans together... What a shock Duke William would have had... Though I feel that the outcome would still have been the same 🤦🏽♂️
Great video, but I got a question. Is it possible to mod your combat so that charges don't run straight past the first 3 lines of formations? Something like more realistic/longer battles?
To be honest, I can make the formations stop at the first line but I just thought that it would be visually more pleasing. Probably sacrificed realism for visual which could be a bad idea, I'm not sure. I can certainly fix that in future videos though. Thank you very much for the useful feedback
The depiction of the church is anachronistic, albeit very evocative. 1:50 . Also, the map at 4:14 is very unrealistic! Very interesting video btw thumbs up.
@@historybattles3D Well London has a sign over it and one can see the individual trees on the island, they must be about 40 km tall. Very interesting video btw thumbs up.
You have to admire the stamina and fighting spirit of the Saxon army. March 290 km and then annihilate a Viking army. The Vikings came on 300 boats and went home on 24, never more to return to our shore.
The Viking era ended? The Normans were Vikings who settled in France. So hardly the end of the Viking influence on England. It was one set of Vikings being replaced by another.
I'm surprised the Saxon archers didn't just nail the giant Norseman blocking the bridge. instead of letting him kill a reported 40 Saxons with his axe...
If this was a game I'd pay £50 for it! Creative Assembly have dropped the ball immensely with the Total War series. I was disppointed when I realized these were fixed animations, but still amazing.
@@niklassvensson860 more like a feminist SOAP, a drag on the rag of the Lagerta's. Men, Norse men, acting like insecure women and even crying. Women fighting in armors like girls and leading men in reverse gender roles. LGBTQ dramas and betrays for straight. Not even equality but a modernist utopian vision catapulted into pagans' brutal days, where women are given more than a fair chance but handouts
I think Godwinson has been underrated a bit by history. This battle was a true achievement in leadership and courage. Then to turn around and meet a new threat head-on at Hastings with barely a pause. He tried hard and nearly succeeded. If he’d won at Hastings, I feel he would have been feted as one of history’s great commanders.
i always wondered what would happen if vikings tried to form their shieldwall as close to the bridge as possible, not allowing Godwinson army to spread
Excellent spectacle. The sheer exhausting physical exertion of medieval shield wall battle must have been unimaginable for us. I think at this period though I'd call the home side the English rather than the Anglo Saxons, Harold the English king not the Saxon king etc. That's no criticism though, this is a great film.
You are right about that indeed. Calling him an English King is quite appropriate but I thought of focusing on the Saxon aspect due to Harold being the last Anglo-Saxon king. Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback!
I believe the Norse accounts of 'Anglo Saxon' cavalry(Norman knights brought to England by Edward previously) more than modern historians that discount it based on nothing or trying to claim the reports of Stamford Bridge got confused with the Battle Hastings. How the few norse that did make it back knew anything about the battle of hastings I have never heard them satisfactorily explain.

Their looming defeat at Hastings is one of the greatest tragedies in history
Yes, that would have been quite scary.
People back then were much hardier
Tragedy? Less so than Hardrada's defeat. That was the true tragedy. Godwinson was always gonna lose to William. Hardrada might not have
They had it coming to them, because Godwinson was an unholy usurper

9:49 he was mentioned in the ballad "battle of Stamford bridge" Tydulf Stereken. Meaning the strong.
Harold Godwinson and his Huscarls almost certainly rode horses to Stamford Bridge and dismounted for the battle as was the custom. The Normans had learned from continental warfare cavalry tactics which gave them the advantage at Hastings.
That's probably true. It will also explain extremely fast pace of marching from London to York.

Harold Hadrada messed up badly. He and his army had no armor that day so a retreat back to the ships that day was the move
He was so arrogant he thought he win easily. There were more vikings on the way but he didn't want to wait. What would have been if he had?
His back would have been to the sea with not even a little ground to give. No flanking maneuver could be initiated without being observed. They damn well should have brought their armor !! lol. Amazing how one little thing like that could sway the outcome of a battle but in this case a war. 😞😮💨😩😵

The depiction of the church is anachronistic, albeit very evocative. 1:50 .
Also, the map at 4:14 is very unrealistic!
Very interesting video btw thumbs up.
How can a map be unrealistic ?
@@historybattles3D Well London has a sign over it and one can see the individual trees on the island, they must be about 40 km tall. Very interesting video btw thumbs up.
imagine you swing the large battle axe like the one at 0:20 in middle...in a close formation...
excellent
Many many thanks
Ojalá algún día pongas comentarios en español para una mejor experiencia pero en sí tienes un buen canal con buenos vídeos😉
You have to admire the stamina and fighting spirit of the Saxon army. March 290 km and then annihilate a Viking army. The Vikings came on 300 boats and went home on 24, never more to return to our shore.
The Viking era ended? The Normans were Vikings who settled in France. So hardly the end of the Viking influence on England. It was one set of Vikings being replaced by another.
What is the game called
William owes his entire success to Hadrada
actaully crazy....kinda looks like a really good RTS xD
Please can you do a historical doc on the Roundhead troops in Europe.
I'm surprised the Saxon archers didn't just nail the giant Norseman blocking the bridge. instead of letting him kill a reported 40 Saxons with his axe...
What game you used?
Cool video.
Thanks!
Subbed
If this was a game I'd pay £50 for it! Creative Assembly have dropped the ball immensely with the Total War series. I was disppointed when I realized these were fixed animations, but still amazing.
Thank you very much!
Well, unfortunately it's just animation.
Even though I do my best to optimize, it wouldn't be playable! haha
They actually did a decent job of portraying this in the series "Vikings".
That serie is a joke
@@niklassvensson860 more like a feminist SOAP, a drag on the rag of the Lagerta's.
Men, Norse men, acting like insecure women and even crying. Women fighting in armors like girls and leading men in reverse gender roles. LGBTQ dramas and betrays for straight. Not even equality but a modernist utopian vision catapulted into pagans' brutal days, where women are given more than a fair chance but handouts
this looks like a phone game ad
I just realized that the Saxon had the trifecta" Viking blood Celtic blood and Roman tactics " ... A concoring machine.
what game is this
I think Godwinson has been underrated a bit by history. This battle was a true achievement in leadership and courage. Then to turn around and meet a new threat head-on at Hastings with barely a pause. He tried hard and nearly succeeded. If he’d won at Hastings, I feel he would have been feted as one of history’s great commanders.
What game
Is that sir knoble knight in the thumbnail?
i always wondered what would happen if vikings tried to form their shieldwall as close to the bridge as possible, not allowing Godwinson army to spread
you forgot the thanns that he had with him my family were there ..back in the day saxon losses were around 3000 men
Excellent spectacle. The sheer exhausting physical exertion of medieval shield wall battle must have been unimaginable for us. I think at this period though I'd call the home side the English rather than the Anglo Saxons, Harold the English king not the Saxon king etc. That's no criticism though, this is a great film.
You are right about that indeed.
Calling him an English King is quite appropriate but I thought of focusing on the Saxon aspect due to Harold being the last Anglo-Saxon king.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback!
what a great battle!
Why isn't there games like this
I believe the Norse accounts of 'Anglo Saxon' cavalry(Norman knights brought to England by Edward previously) more than modern historians that discount it based on nothing or trying to claim the reports of Stamford Bridge got confused with the Battle Hastings. How the few norse that did make it back knew anything about the battle of hastings I have never heard them satisfactorily explain.
Awesome . My ancestors were awarded lands in Yorkshire after the next battle from William . Poor old Godwinson , talk about bad luck and timing .
