History
Harald Sigurdsson, Hardrada, was king of Norway from 1046 until an arrow killed him at Stamford Bridge on 25 September 1066. He had already fought in the Varangian Guard and spent years trying to take Denmark. His coinage from Norway carries his name.
The bookmark opens on 15 September 1066, with the English invasion underway and the battle ten days ahead. Norway is about 24 counties, rated Medium. Winning England and still having a Norway to return to is the whole problem.
