Ragnar Lothbrok's Sons: The Viking Conquest of Mercia
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the pivotal conquest of Mercia by Ragnar Lothbrok's sons, Ivar the Boneless and Halfdan Ragnarsson. They discuss the Great Heathen Army's winter camp at Repton in 873-874, the strategic importance of the Mercian kingdom, and the controversial figure of Ceolwulf II, the puppet king installed by the Vikings. The conversation also examines the archaeological evidence from Repton, including the mass grave and the D-shaped ditch, and the political fallout that reshaped England. This episode ties together earlier discussions on the Great Army's movements and the broader Viking impact on Anglo-Saxon England.
