Program Description
Event Details
Battle of Stamford Bridge
Hearing the news of the Danish invasion to the north, King Harold Godwinson marched his army 190 miles from London in just 4 days, collecting additional troops along the way. The march was so quick, that the Danes had no idea he was even in the vicinity. What followed was a brutal battle of shield walls at Stamford Bridge. This battle is traditionally viewed as the end of the Viking Age.
However, although victorious, King Harold now learned of a Norman invasion in the south. He marched back south and faced William “The Conqueror” at Hastings to decide who would control all of England.
For Father's Day, we're inviting dads to join the game! Please register all players individually.
Please pre-register. Games are facilitated by experts from HMGS Next Gen, Inc. who have great experience in running games that are fun and challenging for players. Presented by the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society, Next Gen.
