And the Vikings of Sven met the Normans at the crossing where he met his undoing

The armies array on opposite sides of the river, slim bridges span between them.

The Normand host defends one briges with mounted Knights sent to cross the other.

The Knights crush into the host defending the bridge.  Sven with Bondi and Berserker is caught off guard by the Norman ferocity.

The Berserkers fall under the hooves and spears.

Viking Bondi brave the Norman volley to cross the bridge.

Sven leads his Bondi into the remaing Knights and a fierce battle ensues.  The Knights are killed, but with a heavy toll.

Bondi and Hirdmen are slowed by Norman volleys.

The Bondi, weakend, prove no match for the Norman Sergeants.

The Hirdmen alone face the Norman host.


Sven spurns his remaining Bondi onward toward the battle.


 The Hirdmen assault across the bridge, not waiting for Sven and his meager reinforcements.
 Sven alone makes it to the Norman host, he does not faulter but charges into the Norman crossbowmen.  Weaked from battle he proves no match for them and falls.  The Normans claim the crossing and remain there uncontested.
