Description

La bataille de Fulford se déroule le 20 septembre 1066 près du village de Fulford, dans le Yorkshire. Elle oppose les comtes anglais Edwin de Mercie et Morcar de Northumbrie au roi norvégien Harald Hardrada qui remporte la victoire.

Le roi d'Angleterre Édouard le Confesseur meurt sans laisser d'enfants le 4 ou le 5 janvier 1066. Le comte de Wessex Harold Godwinson, le plus riche et le plus puissant baron d'Angleterre, est élu pour lui succéder, mais deux prétendants revendiquent également la couronne : le duc Guillaume de Normandie et le roi Harald de Norvège. Ce dernier fonde sa revendication sur un accord conclu entre son prédécesseur, Magnus le Bon, et Hardeknut, le prédécesseur d'Édouard, en vertu duquel l'Angleterre et la Norvège reviendraient à l'autre si l'un d'eux mourait sans laisser d'héritier.
