	The Battle of Fulford
		In open battle it could be swung with devastating effect to scythe down the opposition while the berserk, wielding his axe, remained out of range of sword or spear.
		The battle would have to move on otherwise the bodies of dead and injured would keep the warriors apart.
		Fulford was about to create the conditions for such massacres.

	Battle of Fulford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Fulford did not yield a huge gain or loss to either side, but fits into the important chain of events of the English Autumn of 1066.
		The Battle of Stamford Bridge ended these designs, with a swift routing for the Vikings, and it is unlikely (though not totally implausible, given the vague data), that the losses at Fulford were a significant contributing factor to this later defeat.
		Fulford was not to be the battle to end all Scandinavian attempts at English conquest, as Stamford Bridge was.

	Fulford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fulford is a historic village and civil parish on the outskirts of York, England.
		Situated to the south of the city, on the east bank of the River Ouse, it was the site of the 11th century Battle of Fulford.
		Traffic through Fulford can be problematic, as the A19 forms the main street and the intersection with the A64 on the edge of the village is notably prone to congestion at peak times.

		The battle is considerably less well known than the clash between King Harold and William the Conqueror, and it even lags behind the Saxon encounter with Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge just before Hastings.
		However, historians believe that Fulford played a key role in the struggle for the English throne, since Saxon forces were tired and depleted at a time when they needed to be at their strongest to deal with William.
		The precise location of the field of battle is in some doubt, but members of the Fulford Battlefield Society believe it must lie beside the Ouse to the south of York.

	The Battle of Hastings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		It is difficult to estimate the number of men and horses that had landed, but, if there were as many as could be placed on the battlefield, then William might have had seven thousand men, comprising perhaps three thousand calvary, a thousand archers, and the rest infantry.
		It was there on the morning of October 14, that William "came upon him by surprise before his people were marshalled." The battle began with the blare of trumpets, the Normans initiating the attack with a volley of arrows.
		There was a last stand among a broken rampart and rough ground, where, in the gloom and long grass, the pursuing Normans tripped and fell, "one on top of the other," says Orderic, "in a struggling mass of horses and arms," to be slaughtered by the English on the other side of the ravine.

	Jorvik - Who ruled it and when?
		As late at 1066 the Battle of Fulford was fought there as Harald Hardraada of Norway made a bid for the throne of England.
		It is likely that Harald Hardraada saw Jorvik and the old Kingdom of York as a good base for attacks on the rest of England and probably hoped that he would get support from the Anglo-Scandinavian population in the region.
		If so, he was mistaken and, though successful at the Battle of Fulford, his army was shortly afterwards defeated at nearby Stamford Bridge by Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of the English.
