Tostig

He later appeared as Sonny Munro in River City, and Tostig in the History Channel series Vikings, but relocated to Edinburgh in the mid-1980s, where he established a successful pizza restaurant.

But 1066 saw the country face invasion not once but twice: first in the north, where King Harold defeated a Norwegian and Flemish army led by his brother Tostig and Harald Hardrada; and then at Hastings.

Two years afterwards, possibly instigated by the banished Earl Tostig of Northumbria, he attempted the conquest of England, to the sovereignty of which his predecessor had advanced a claim as successor of Harthacnut.

With this other matters are mingled: Harold's conflict with his disloyal brother Tostig, Earl of Northumberland, who brings in the King of Norway to claim the crown, and who, with his Norwegian backers, is defeated by Harold in battle just before William comes down upon him.

Tostig was accompanied by Ealdred, who in 1061 went to fetch his pall after he had received the see of York.
