Re: In today's news...
Well let's see the vikings under Harald Hardrada lost to the Saxons at Stamford Bridge, then the Saxons lost to the Normans at Hastings. Of course the Normans were essentially vikings themselves who had just settled in land given to them so they would stop raiding the area.
Really it all boils down to who was lucky and who was better prepared at the time the battle started.
