Battle of Stamford Bridge, battle fought between Saxon and Viking forces on September 25, 1066, about 7 miles east of York, England, with the Britons emerging victorious. Were it not totally overshadowed by a more famous confrontation that took place at Hastings three weeks later, the Battle of Stamford Bridge between King Harold II of England and an invading Viking army led by King Harald Hadrada of Norway would be remembered as the last time the Vikings attempted to conquer England.
