And he [Tostig] went to Scotland with twelve smacks and Harald the Norwegian king met him with three hundred ships, and Tostig submitted to him; and they both went into the Plumber, until they came to York. And earl Morkere and earl Eadwine fought against them, and the Norwegian king had the victory. And it was made known to king Harold how it was there done and had happened ; and he came with a great army of Englishmen, and met him at Stamford-bridge, and slew him and the earl Tostig, and bravely overcame all the army. And the while count William landed at Hastings, on St. Michael's mass-day; and Harold came from the north and fought against him before his army had all come ; and there he fell, and his two brothers, Gyrth and Leofwine ; and William subdued this land, and came to Westminster, and archbishop Ealdred hallowed him king; and men paid him tribute and gave him hostages, and afterwards bought their land.
