It was the English who broke the Viking line, and the remaining Norse warriors cowered around their chiefs. We must imagine the great Hardrada swinging his axe beneath the Landvaster flag, before finally sinking down with an arrow in the throat. Tostig picking up the Raven flag and, in his turn, being cut down. The carnage was so complete that it took just 24 of the 300 ships that had sailed to England to return the pitiful remnant of the Norse army back to Norway. In a final act of respect, Harold found his dead brother and took what was left of him to be buried at York Minster.


英格兰士兵冲破了维京人的防线，残余的挪威士兵退缩到他们的首领身边。我们只能想象挪威国王。在战旗下挥舞着他的斧子。最终喉部中箭落马。紧接着。举着乌鸦旗的托斯提戈也被砍死。挪威人损失极为惨重。来到三百艘船，最后仅仅有二十四艘船载着残兵，返回了挪威。
