He was the younger brother of King Harold Godwinson, the last crowned English King of England. In 1051, he married Judith, the daughter of Count Baldwin IV of Flanders, half-sister of Baldwin V of Flanders, and aunt of Matilda of Flanders, who married William the Conqueror. Tostig was not popular with the Northumbrian ruling class, a mix of Danish invaders and Anglo Saxon survivors of the last Norse invasion. Tostig was said to have been heavy handed with those who resisted his rule, including the murder of several members of leading Northumbrian families. Because of this and other actions of Tostig he was outlawed by his brother King Harold Godwinson. Tostig took ship with his family and some loyal thegns and took refuge with his brother-in-law, Count Baldwin V. In 1066 Tostig made contact with King Harald III Hardrada of Norway and persuaded him to invade England. Hardrada's army invaded York, taking hostages after a peaceful surrender, and likely agreed with the local inhabitants to gather commandeered supplies at Stamford Bridge, near York, a conveniently central spot, well fed by streams and roads. Tostig's brother King Harold raced northward with an English army from London and, on 25 September 1066, surprised Tostig and about 6,000 of his men, basking in the sun and awaiting supplies. Tostig was killed in the battle, along with Harald Hardrada. Fewer than twenty of the three hundred Norwegian ships returned home. After his death at Stamford Bridge, it is believed that his body was taken to York and buried at York Minster. Tostig's two sons took refuge in Norway, while his wife Judith married Duke Welf of Bavaria. His wife Judith was born between 1030 and 1035 in Bruges, the only child of Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders by his second wife, Eleanor of Normandy, who was herself, the daughter of Richard II of Normandy and Judith of Brittany.[3] Judith had an older half-brother, Baldwin V, Count of Flanders, who succeeded their father upon his death which had occurred when Judith was about two years old. (Some scholars argue that Judith's father was Baldwin V, not Baldwin IV.[4]) Judith's niece was Matilda of Flanders who married William, the first Norman king of England, known to history as "William the Conqueror". King William was Judith's first cousin, being the son of her maternal uncle, Robert of Normandy.<br>Fact: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tostig_Godwinson
