Tostig’s raiders have been caught on the Humber. Can Morcar and Edwin defeat them with their fyrd? Chivalry and Honour.

Oh heck! The Men of the Orkneys are broken by the Northumberland fyrd and rout. Lord Copsi attempts to hold the line and pays for it with a tribute of sharpened spears. The baggage by the Humber panics as they rout back to the ships. Tostig is thinking it’s all over!
