Who supports harald hardrada at the stamford bridge was it tostig?

Tostig Godwinson, the exiled Earl of Northumbria, supported Harald Hardrada in his invasion of England in 1066. Tostig had been banished from England by his brother, King Edward the Confessor, in 1065. He sought revenge against Edward and allied himself with Hardrada, the King of Norway. Tostig and Hardrada landed in England in September 1066 and defeated the English army at the Battle of Fulford. However, they were defeated by the English army led by King Harold II at the Battle of Stamford Bridge on 25 September 1066. Tostig was killed in the battle, and Hardrada's invasion was defeated.
