The ‘great heathen army’ in England
Between 865 and 879 a large Viking force campaigned continuously, ultimately conquering and settling in three of the four great Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, and coming close to conquering the fourth. The story of this is a key part of the established narrative of Viking conquest, and of the unification of England. Recent research on hoards, camps and the nature of Viking armies, suggests that this narrative needs to be reconsidered.
