Description
Why did the Vikings invade England?
The Great Heathen Army: the cool (or terrifying) name given to a huge Norse army that landed in England in the middle of the 9th century and stayed for 13 years, devastating the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Was it really that ""great""? In the sparsely populated countryside of medieval Britain, what counted as an ""army""? Were the Vikings really led by the three sons of the infamous Ragnar Lothbrook, as depicted in Assassin's Creed Valhalla?
Matt Lewis is joined by Dr Caitlin Ellis, Associate Professor of Nordic Medieval History at the University of Oslo. She'll be the guide to lead us on our quest for answers!
