Before the battle a man bravely rode up to Harald Hardrada and Tostig and offered Tostig his earldom if he would but turn on Harald Hardrada.  When Tostig asked what he would be willing to give Harald Hardrada for his trouble, the rider replied,  "Six feet of ground or as much more as he needs, as he is taller than most men"  Harald Hardrada was impressed with the rider and asked Tostig his name. Tostig replied that the rider was none other than Harold Godwinson, his brother.
