Anglo-Saxon Chronicle E recension (Swanton)

Meanwhile Earl Tostig came into the Humber with 60 ships. Earl Edwin came with a land-army and drove him out, and the boatmen deserted him; and he went to Scotland with 12 cutters, and Harald, the king of the Norwegians, met him with 300 ships, and Tostig submitted to him and became his man, and they both went into the Humber until they came to York; and Earl Edwin and Earl Morcar fought with them, but the king of the Norwegians had the victory. Then Harold, king of the English, was informed of what had happened and was done there, and he came with a great raiding party of English men, and met him at Stamford Bridge, and killed him and the Earl Tostig and courageously overcame all that raiding party. And meanwhile the Earl William came up at Hasting on the feast of St Michael and Harold came from the north, and fought with him before all his raiding-army had come; and there he fell, and his two brothers Gyrth and Leofwine. And William conquered this land, and came to Westminster, and Archbishop Aldred consecrated him as king. And men paid him tribute, and gave hostages, and afterwards bought their lands.
