Description: The raven banner was flown by various Viking chieftains. The flag, as depicted in Norse artwork, was roughly triangular, with a rounded outside edge on which there hung a series of tabs or tassels. The raven was a symbol of Odin, who was often depicted accompanied by two ravens named Huginn and Muninn, so the raven banner likely conferred Odin's protection. The banner is accompanied here by a quote from the Saga of Harald Hardrada.

Description: Battle of Hastings - The Battle of Stamford Bridge took place at the village of Stamford Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire, in England.

After a bloody battle, both Hardrada and Tostig, along with most of the Norwegians, were killed. Although Harold Godwinson repelled the Norwegian invaders, his army was defeated by the Normans at Hastings less than three weeks later.
