Was there ever a name given to the Viking that held Stamford Bridge in 1066? All accounts of the battle (that I could find) tell of an axe wielding Viking that held the bridge preventing the Anglo-Saxons from crossing, cutting down roughly 40 of them by himself before meeting a rather unfortunate end. This seems like a very notable feat, enough so that he may have had a reputation as a skilled and courageous warrior among other Vikings prior to the battle. Have historians been able to come up with potential candidates for who this may have been?
