Stamford Bridge 1066

Stamford Bridge 1066:

A Viking Anthology

Thirteen writers. One epic battle. The same afternoon, told from both sides of the bridge.

On 25 September 1066 a Norwegian army lay resting on both banks of the Derwent, seven miles from York. They had won their battle, taken the city’s surrender, and left their mail at the ships. They were not expecting Harold Godwinson. Stamford Bridge 1066 brings thirteen writers of Viking historical fiction to the same afternoon: a king outrunning the end of an age, a priest tending the wounded on the eve of a battle nobody knows is coming, an axeman alone on the bridge and the Englishman in the water beneath him. Over 100,000 words, published on the 960th anniversary of the battle.
