Summer in Transylvania

The Battle of Stamford Bridge occurred 957 years ago today, during which, among others, King Harald III "Hardrada" of Norway and disgraced earl (and brother of the then-incumbent King Harold II "Godwinson") Tostig Godwinson were killed, aged approximately 51 and 37 respectively. Tostig Godwinson (1029-1066). Harald Hardrada (1015-1066). Another viking soldier, who allegedly single-handedly killed 40 Anglo-Saxon attackers defending his king, was also felled in the battle, although his name and age are unknown.

The other two, from the looks of things, are Wilhelm Buesing and Andrés García.

Indian-born British journalist, broadcaster, and interfaith activist Indarjit Singh, Baron Singh of Wimbledon, is 91 today. Intriguing fact: Upon being granted a life peerage on 12th October 2011, he became the first member of the House of Lords to wear a turban.
