"Echoes of History: Ragnarök" is a historical podcast inspired by the video game "Assassin’s Creed Valhalla : Dawn of Ragnarök." It’s the second season of Ubisoft’s popular podcast “Echoes of History."
The year 1066 has become indelibly linked to William the Conqueror, the Norman King who by his victory at Hastings seized the English throne. But for every event that becomes gilded in history as a turning point, there were thousands of others overshadowed, and one such event happened only weeks before that fateful battle and involved the same English King, but instead of securing everlasting glory, it ended the career of a Viking king.
This is original content based on research by The History Guy. Images in the Public Domain are carefully selected and provide illustration. As very few images of the actual event are available in the Public Domain, images of similar objects and events are used for illustration
All events are portrayed in historical context and for educational purposes. No images or content are primarily intended to shock and disgust. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Non censuram.Harald Hardrada: King of Norway, and the Battle of Stamford Bridge

One of my 24th Great-grandfathers on my father’s side. William Conqueror De Normandie I was also a 24th great-grandfather. The two lines came together when Elizabeth Beauclerc (1101-1166) married Lord Fergus Galloway (1090-1166) hand had daughter Bethoc McFergus, great-grand-daughter of both William and Harald.
