Harold hadrada was killed by an arrow at the battle of Stamford bridge against Godwinson just before William the conqueror took over England :man_shrugging:t5:

Iā€™m not sure he actually died on a bridge, but he definitely died at the Battle of Stamford Bridge.

The amount of shit that happened after Edward the Confessor died is crazy.

87

Yes but not on the bridge itself, that was another of his influential lieutenants.

88

And not by an arrow, if I remember correctly.

Wasnā€™t it some Englishman who got a barrel, floated down the river in it, and speared the man through the bridge? Something crazy like that.

89

Arrow through the throat, no? Been a while since I studied this period, but thatā€™s what I recall.

90

Iā€™m sure @Leper can confirm, but Iā€™m pretty sure Harald survived the Battle of Stamford Bridge and was killed at the Battle of Hastings a few weeks later.

And I think it was an arrow to his eye, and not his throat :slight_smile:

91

Wasnā€™t that King Harold II? Harald Hardrada was someone else.

92

Yeah I definitely shouldnā€™t be trying to recount history at 9am with a hangover.

My history is a bit fuzzy too but Iā€™ll try to clarify a few bits.

Harold Bishop is alive and well, thank the gods. A much loved soap star. I truly hope he doesnā€™t die from an arrow to the ass cheek / ballbag or whatever. I might send him some fan mail to invest in a good shield.

Harrods was founded in the mid 1800s. Of course that isnā€™t dead as its a shop and was never alive to begin with.

Then you have Harold Shipman who quite prolifically killed other people, before he eventually died. Nowhere near a bridge I believe, but I understand he did enjoy playing bridge.

Haemorrhoids also known as piles is alive and kicking as an ailment to the human condition. Wouldnā€™t want to get it on a bridge or in a war though, very bad timing.

Finally Hastings Direct is a car insurance provider who can be reliably reached on 0800 00 1066. It might be a battle to get paid for a claim, but theyā€™ve got nothing to do with warfare and the like, at least thatā€™s my understanding. Like I said my history is a bit fuzzy.

Thatā€™s Harold Godwinson, king of the Anglo-Saxons.

I wish they could have had more different names, confuses the hell out of my year 7s :joy:

Which one was Harold the Bastard?

Scratch that, it was William the Bastard.

97

William the Bastard, an unflattering nickname for William the Conqueror based on his actual illegitimate birth.

Same mess though :grinning:

Every time I see the thread title I keep thinking it says Evening Herald. A daily paper here first published in 1891.

Haaland is so good, we just canā€™t be bothered to even talk about him :slight_smile:

If itā€™s Stamford Bridge then Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s ā€œWillianā€ the Bastard

As if Wilson would have a chance at winning a silver boot. If it was a copper boot, him and Antonio might have a shot.
