They say one man can’t change the course of history… but they never met him. ⚔️ In 1066, during the Battle of Stamford Bridge, a single Viking warrior stood alone — surrounded by hundreds of enemy soldiers. His comrades were retreating, his king was wounded, and the bridge was the only thing standing between life and annihilation. He was exhausted, bleeding, and outnumbered — but he refused to fall. Every time the English charged, he met them with his axe, cutting down anyone who dared to cross.
