Battle of Fulford
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
On September 20, 1066, King Harald III of Norway and Tostig, his English ally, fought and defeated the Northern Earls Edwin and Morcar at the Battle of Fulford. The traitorous Tostig was able to identify the most valuable hostages afterwards, thus ensuring lasting compliance from the defeated English.
