At the Battle of Stamford Bridge, which took place on September 25, 1066, it is estimated that around 5,000 Anglo-Saxon soldiers died. This battle was fought between King Harold II of England and the Norwegian King Harald Hardrada, leading to a decisive victory for the English. The high casualty rate significantly weakened Harold's forces before they faced the Norman invasion later that same year.
