The Vikings under Harald Hadraada were annihilated, they were unready for battle and their forces split. Assuming they had set up lookouts and patrols around the area giving them enough time to arm and place their forces effectively, how could they go on to win the battle? They did have a larger force and the saxon army had been marching for some time, so it does not seem to ASBish for a Norse victory.

And if they went on to win what would they do next? How could they deal with the threat of the Normans?
