The battle of stamford bride which was Harold II Vs Harold hadrada some say the reason he didnt win The Battle of Hastings was becasue his army had to march 1000 miles up and down the country and his army were all tired and didnt have the strenght to fight although they did win the battle of stamford bridge

After defeating Harold Hadrada at the hard fought Battle of Stamford Bridge, Harold Goodwinson's forces had to make a forced march across the width of England to meet William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings, just days later. His troops arrived at the battle exhausted.

Before the Battle of Hastings, King Harold went to northern England to battle his brother Tostig, and Tostig's ally Harald Hardrada of Norway. This also led to his defeat at Hastings, as Harold left some of his army in the north, depleting his forces.
