From Harald's Countermove section "The remaining men in Fulford surrendered under the promise that the victors would not loot their city. The treaty was kept, as King Harald turned his attention towards York." Which city is this? Fulford is barely larger than a hamlet and certainly couldn't have been construed as a city at the time.

Could we have a map indicating where the battlefield lies on today's terrain? (I must go past the site every few weeks, but I don;t know where it is.)
all the speculation that "It could have changed Hastings" is not suitable, this is an encyclopedia, not your local tabloid newspapper..

WikiProject Yorkshire [show](Rated Start-class, Low-importance) WikiProject Middle Ages [show](Rated Start-class, Mid-importance)
lol ? Srsly, it should be the opposite,
it's Mid-importance > high importance to Yorkshire, while LOW important to Middle Ages..

I agree with Wilfridselsey on this. If Harald had.lost, it is unlikely that the Battle of Stamford Bridge would have happened and this would have left the English army more prepared to fight William of Normandy. Qwerty number1 ( talk) 22:00, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
I would like to ask the person who keeps adding information about Hårdråde as "modern Dano-Norse" for Hardrada (the nickname Harald III of Norway) to stop. I am sure that it is done with good intent, but it could be interpreted as vandalism. The Old Norse form of the nickname was Harðráði, the English is Hardrada and the modern Norwegian is Hardråde. The latter is the name listed by the Norwegian Royal Palace ( [1]), and the form "hård" for "hard" does not exist even as a side form in the Norwegian dictionary ( [2]). The form Hårdråde is Danish (and Swedish) and is irrelevant to the article. -- Nidator T / C 17:42, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
I will try to dig up some references later, but regarding Tostig's landing on the South coast, I read that he failed to inspire support and therefore did not collect many troops from the South and then he learned that King Harold was assembling the largest army ever seen and was approaching. This drove Tostig to flee to Scotland.
Furthermore, modern historians have suggested that King Harold is likely to have sailed at least part of the way up country with some / all of his housecarls rather than the traditional forced-march theory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.148.177.199 ( talk) 09:12, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
Primary sources are records of events as they are first described, usually by witnesses or by people who were involved in the event.
Secondary sources offer an analysis or a restatement of primary sources.
Orderic Vitalis was born in 1075, some 9 years after the Battle of Fulford. He wrote most of his "Ecclesiastical History" in the early 12th century. He put his own "spin" on material facts for example the number of people slaughtered in the Harrying of the North has been questioned by modern historians. Thus by definition he was a secondary source for the Battle of Fulford. Wilfridselsey ( talk) 09:41, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
