The Great Summer Army had arrived in …
Years: 874 - 874
The Great Summer Army had arrived in 871 from Scandinavia, led by Bagsecg, to reinforce the Great Heathen Army, enabling it to conquer Mercia.
Evidence of their stay in Derbyshire are a mass grave for two hundred and fifty people at Repton and several dozen barrows recording cremations at nearby Ingleby.
A considerable number of them in 874 settle in the conquered territories.
