I know that vague memory well. I posted about a fantasy book that I read long ago in the "name that book" thread a while back and never got a response. It was your basic Nordic fantasy. Three brothers, the two oldest of whom were fey (one had cloven hooves instead of feet). The youngest has various adventures and eventually is killed with Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge (I think he was the berserker who held the bridge). The two older brothers then avenge his death by killing the person who betrayed Hardrada and company. I could have sworn it was by Poul Anderson but now I can't find it. I don't know if I lost the book, or if it's just buried in the wrong pile of books.
